Don't have much hope anyway. Think I entered "don't give a feck" mood of LVG last season.

My main concern is if we continue trying to use the same midfield Burnley could out battle us in midfield.

As much as I really hate Fellaini, I do agree that we need either him or Herrera in midfield.

Treble · Aug 28, 2018

Burnley might have been terrible so far but will give us a game. They will be desperate to show that they aren't a one season wonder.

Alabaster Codify7 · Aug 28, 2018

Burnley have been poor so far this season. Should be a crucial 3pts.

DDG
Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof (christ), Shaw
Matic, Fred, Pogba
Lingard, Lukaku, Sanchez

SUBS - Herrera (Matic), Fellaini (Lingard), Rashford (Lukaku)

Burnley 1 - 2 Man United
Lukaku, Rashford

daveoliver91 · Aug 28, 2018

Time to bounce back and show some spirit, fight & desire.

Going for a 1-3 win.

DDG
Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw
Matic, Fred, Pogba
Mata, Lukaku, Sanchez

Subs: Fellaini, Rashford & Lingard

0-3 lukaku x2, sanchez

K2K · Aug 28, 2018

Might win this.

LawCharltonBest · Aug 28, 2018

Keep DDG and Shaw in the XI.

Give first team chances to 9 players from the academy. Chong, Gomes etc

Give lots of attacking freedom.

If we go down, we go down entertaining and surprising.

If we win, Jose looks brilliant

the return of the 5-0 scoreline prediction already three games in

I actually expect us to push on from yesterdays defeat. We looked very good in spells. We'll win.

Pereira back in the team please

12OunceEpilogue · Aug 28, 2018

I've gone 2-1 to us. Burnley haven't been great and have Europa woes, we'll be ok at attacking, De Gea will make about 50 world class saves and well collapse over the finish line.

Zlatattack · Aug 28, 2018

We'll probably see;

. DDG
Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw
. Fred Matic
. Mata Pogba Sanchez
. Lukaku

What I'd like to see...

. DDG
Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw
. Fred Matic Pogba
. Rashford Lukaku Sanchez

DanNistelrooy · Aug 28, 2018

I reckon we will see a big reaction here. Similar to the Swansea away game in Jose's first season where we had been on a run of losing to Chelsea and drawing some very easy games at home and there was a lot of negativity around.

Will go 1-3 United.

Hoping that DDG, Shaw, Bailly, Smalling, Matic, Herrera, Lingard and Alexis start. Not too fussed who fills the other spots

lysglimt · Aug 28, 2018

With Burnley playing 3 days before - we might win

Havak · Aug 28, 2018

Valencia, Smalling, Matic, and Lingard have definitely played their way into the team. I'd say Herrera too, but I'm not sure if Jose will want to drop Fred just yet. Against Burnley, it seems Jose picked a lot of the more dependable players, who he knew could put in a shift and be reliable. However, a lot of those players were playing their first real minutes of competitive football this season and it started to show in the second half, didn't it? Hopefully we can get through the Burnley game with a result and no knocks, then after the International Break we'll see some improvement as this below XI will hopefully string some games together:

de Gea
Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw
Matic
Fred Pogba
Lingard Lukaku Sanchez
---
Grant; Lindelof, Young; Herrera, Fellaini; Rashford, Martial

Bit harsh on Pereira/McTominay/Mata but it is hard to find room for them if we want more impact players on the bench like Fellaini/Rashford/Martial along with fullback and centreback cover. Most of the time if everyone's fit, we'll have about five players vying for one substitute spot. We really need a win here. I expect a draw to be the more likely outcome, but hopefully, Burnley put a lot into their Europa League tie and feel the effects on Sunday.

Robbie Boy · Aug 28, 2018

Matic better not play. Played like a 40 year old crack head yesterday.

ash_86 · Aug 28, 2018

I don't see Jose backing down. We will press them like crazy like against spurs. If we could finish the chances, its going to be a bloodbath. If we don't get anything for an hour, i could see Burnley scoring from a corner and us loosing the plot.

Inter Yer Nan · Aug 28, 2018

A must win game this early in the season. This and Watford are massive because we've got some of the other top six teams playing each other coming up. I think we'll sneak an ugly win.

Hoping to see

De Gea

Valencia
Smalling
Is Rojo fit?
Shaw

Herrera
Fred
Pogba
Lingard

Sanchez
Lukaku

I want to see 4-3-1-2 with Dalot ultimately taking over when he's up to pace and if Shaw keeps it up we've got some good stuff from our full-backs and then I think everyone is playing in their best position.

BrianMcClair'sBarnet · Aug 28, 2018

Jose reaction towards the Stretty end last night could be the most defining moment in his Manchester United career.

People will be pessimistic with that response last night but Jose is far more genuine than fans give him credit for.His response after we won the Europa League in 2017 is a clear sign that he's emotionally connected with the club .He wouldn't use the fanbase as a means to just throw scorn at the ownership and Ed.He's largely doing it because he and the team need support.

Now,I dont like his brand of football and how he goes about things in the limelight, SAF was hardly a saint either, but its blatantly apparent he wants to get this club back to winning ways.If he didn't,he would've walked.

For the time being I am with Jose.
Hopefully we can kick off a run of promising results with a victory away to Burnley. We need it,Jose needs it and the team needs it.

shamans · Aug 28, 2018

We will win 1-0 and this forum will talk about "progress" and a "stable defense" which is the first step .

It was aimed at him not playing part, for that to happen he has to be in a wheelchair.

Strange starting him when he's clearly not up to match fitness. Perreira was doing a fine job so I have no idea why he was dropped for a half-fit Matic.

Nothing strange when it comes to JM, AP could have 2 10s in prev. 2 games, would mean feck all the moment Matic was able to walk. Same patterns in many examples, easy to predict weeks ago. Got told it has to do with something, forgot what, either way it turned really well last night for us.

fellaini's barber · Aug 28, 2018

If we start with Fellaini we'll stand a chance, I don't know why we bother trying to play football, we're hopeless at it.

RedMilo · Aug 28, 2018

I hope Im wrong but I can see us narrowly losing this. We need a good positive performance to instill belief but away from home I can see us setting up a bit more defensively

I don't think you can say it's strange for Jose.

Valencia, Smalling, Herrera, Matic, Lingard...

He's ripped up the notepad after the Brighton game. In came all the players he knows he can trust. The workman like players who put in the shift for him. Regardless of being match fit, free from injury etc. He picks the warriors. Far from a 'strange decision', especially after getting slapped for 3 by Brighton & fecking Hove Albion. The players who played there did far from a 'fine job' to be honest. One of our most shocking performances for some time.

Matic was atrocious last night and not match fit. I would rather a fit player starting than a eh non-fit one. It’s just logic.

Hopefully we can nick a draw. The sad part is I’m not even saying that in jest

He was good in the first half, IMO. Lack of fitness showed in the second half and he was promptly subbed.

Basically stick with the same formation and push our full backs forward.
