Does Fellaini get the start?All match day stats / tables being reset before this one?
SuperSub!Doubt we'll see a new signing starting this gameLet's see if LVG can start as well as Moyes.Early predicted lineup:
De GeaBench: Amos, Valencia, Cleverley, Fellaini, Kagawa, Januzaj, Van Persie
Jones, Smalling, Blackett
Young, Fletcher, Herrera, Shaw
Mata
Welbeck, Rooney
I'm of course making assumptions with regards to fitness.
Prediction: Man Utd 3-0 Swansea (Welbeck X2, Young)DDG
Jones
Smalling
Evans/Blackett
Valencia
Ander
Fletcher
Young
Mata
Rooney
Welbeck
1-1So apparently both Shaw and Evans are doubts for this, along with Valencia. Might be too soon for Rojo to come into this game too. Probably going to be:
De Gea
Jones Smalling Blackett
Young Fletcher Herrera Shaw
Mata
Rooney Hernandez
Would prefer to see Januzaj ahead of Hernandez, but he isn't completely fit yet. Welbeck I'm guessing is still going to be out for a couple of weeks considering he had a hamstring injury I think. James ahead of Shaw if he's still out.
Almost here though, can't wait
Predicting 4-0 United, Rooney x2, Mata and Hernandez scoring 1 each.-----------De Gea----------
---Evans--Smalling--Blackett
Valencia----------------Shaw
------Fletcher--Herrera------
------------Mata------------
------Rooney--Welbeck------
Manchester United 3 Swansea City 1

Think we'll win a tight game.im worried with the injuries we have and our defense. We still need a winger/CM and CB and all three must be quality.Welbeck's got to be fit for this he's so important to the way we play at the moment.
i agree. i dont think hernandez quite fits into the possession gameTeam should be...
-------------De Gea-------------
---Jones---Smalling---Blackett---
Valencia--------------------Young
------Fletcher-----Herrera------
--------------Mata--------------
------Rooney-----Hernandez------
Subs: Lindegaard, Keane, Fellaini, Cleverley, Kagawa, Januzaj, Lingaard
Squad already looking barebones if Evans and Shaw are out injuredSo, has Niall put the foot down and taken over matchday threads?
Rojo should be able to cover both if we get him.is welbeck injured?
Is he fit? Doubt we'd be able to get him registered in time anyway
Yep sadly t's a waste for both United and Hernandez playing this system with him. Rather chuck Wilson in if Danny's not fit.
I don't think he would be but I mean in the future we will have more defensive options, because as you said the squad looks bare when one defender is out.
id nearly throw fellani in instead of hernandez. The possession game needs a strong guy who can hold the ball up and pass it.@Niall Will the current player stats roll onto the new season? Also what about the line up game?
Competitive stats will be separated from friendly matches.
The lineup league table will be reset when the league season starts.
Think Januzaj coulld potentially be even better in the system, but Hernandez will almost certainly start given Januzaj isn't fit enough yet, Welbeck is injured and RVP just started training a week ago.Apparently we will be forced to play 2 youngsters in defense (Blackett and James) and Young on wingback. Not a good start for a campaign but I think we can manage.
The front three worries me though. I don’t want to see Hernandez starting, it just doesn’t work with him and Rooney.Injury crisis already?
i agree. hernandez is a poacher. hes not good in the looseHonestly, I get the impression Welbeck's injury isn't bad. Probably didn't play as a precaution. I think he'll play Saturday. Evans, Shaw and Valencia I have no idea, hopefully at least one of them will be able to play. I think Blackett's good enough to start, that's why Evans's not in my team. Don't think Van Gaal will trust James to start so I expect one of Shaw and Valencia to start.When we win this, we'll be top of the league
Or any other..Can not wait! Finally it's here!!Think the partnership between Gomis/Bony (if he stays) could be prosperous for Swansea and dangerous for you, two very strong players with an eye for goal and good in the air. Decent test for your defenders.Hernandez doesn't fill me with confidence recently. It is like we play with 10 players unlike with Welbeck. Hopefully Welbz is fit for this.Just delighted for a bit of proper football back on..Finally comes the new season go go United !We'll be well up for it and will win comfortably. 3-0.The forward three with Hernandez involved just isn't clicking. That could be rectified easily if you swap Hernandez for Januzaj if he's deemed fit enough by then should Van Persie not be ready yet.9:45pm kickoff for me, you beauty.
Hopefully we can start off well and play some good footy.- Status
