Just realized Scholes is 2 bookings away from a 2 game suspension and Rooney and Giggs are a booking away from 5 yellows

Hopefully Val will return so the giggs suspension can be alright. Scholes out for 2 games will be a loss.. hope he doesnt get 2 in the next 2 games

VDS, O'Shea, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Nani, Rooney, Chicharito.

Confirmed by MUTV.

Bench: PIG, Da Silvas, Berbatov, Gibson, King (can't remember the other).
Like the team - lots of speed up front against slow WIgan-defenders

Good lineup. Obertan not featuring at all is a bit of a surprise, not exactly a confidence booster. Would've liked to have seen a 4-4-2 with Fabio given a go, but it's a decent team.

Great to see King on the bench!

5 bookings for being suspended ended in december. But worry about Scholes as that rule is until April, right?

5 yellow don't mean anything - you only get suspended for 5 yellow before new year. 10 yellow means a suspension before april 10th or something

I just hope Rooney won't be put out on the wing again - let him play off Chicharito and we will see the real Wayne.

COME ON, UNITED!

ah, didnt know that about the 5 bookings till new year.
The 10bookings is till sometime in early April, that came up a couple of seasons back

Scholes is still the biggest concern.. hope he doesnt pick up any silly yellows

4-3-3 means Rooney will again be marginal and not in the game on the left it seems. Maybe Fletch will play on the right with Nani on the left like we ended the Marseille game?

Could be this too:

---------------VDS---------------
O'Shea--Smalling---Vidic------Evra
Fletcher--Carrick--Scholes----Nani
---------Rooney--Chicharito-------

Or we might end up going with the 4-3-3.

I hope it will be 4-4-2, would've liked to see Rafael play RB. Good to see Hernandez starting, hopefully scores a few goals.

Regardless of the formation, good to see there's only been 2 changes. Too much meddling makes my piss boil. Probably see Giggs, Rafael and Berbs against Chelsea for fresh legs.

Really pleased to see King on the bench. It would be perfect if we got a comfortable lead and could give him some minutes.

How about 4-4-2 with O'Shea LB, Fletch RB, Nani RW & Evra LW? I prefer Nani on the right so I'd give it a whirl, SAF won't though.
