I hope the fringe players will feature. Focus should be completely on the PL, so I'd rest most of the first 11. Let Lingard and Mkhi some minutes to boost confidence a bit after today.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

I would not start too many fringe players but I hope Rashford, Miki, and Schneiderlin get the start. Probably see Carrick as well.
DDG
Valencia Smalling Jones Shaw
Carrick Schneiderlin
Miki Mata Martial
Rashford
Subs: Memphis, Herrera, and a fullback.The problem with playing all the fringe players is their lack of playing time, surely they're going to struggle against a match sharp team. Mourinho has simply ignored the likes of Schneiderlin and Carrick, how can they possibly come in and perform to a decent level.
I really see us struggling if we adopt this approach.
Good pointI'd leave Pogba and Ibra behind to rest for Sunday, but take everyone else.
You could make a good case for all of the rest of the squad starting.I'd start with:
Ddg
Darmian-Smalling-Jones-rojo
--------Carrick-Schneiderlin------
Young---------Mata-------Depay
----------------Martial-----------------
This should be enough against Feyenoord. Our players looked absolutely knackered today, don't want us to risk anyone.Feyenoord are in very good form so far and play some good football. They're better than Midtylland and Brugge. Luckily the stadium wont be full, when the Kuijp is full and the fans get behind them, it can get really tricky even for some very good sides. We have to win but wont be too surprised if we draw.They have some decent players, will be a decent test. Their manager is none other than Giovanni van Bronckhorst.Just can't get myself excited for the Europe League.I am excited about this match. I want us to win the darn thing.
I hope if we go with the second team, we have some good firepower in reserve.
One of Herrera, Fellaini or uh, Rooney can start depending on which one isn't going to on the weekend. No way all 3 and Pogba start.
In terms of improving the team you'd probably go with Herrera as the 10, Mata on the right and whoever is training worse between Young and Memphis left out.Hope we get a good win and some players who need a game and confidence get it.I actually think he'll take Pogba because he is so fit and it would be ideal for him to have a good game, against some relative minnows, to hit the ground running. Certain Rashford will start & I'm also pretty convinced Micki will be dropped after today's performance. Think we'll see Memphis get his first start.Tricky, awkward game, however we can flex our excellent squad depth and make use of some very good players who have hardly kicked a ball in anger yet,
I hope we'll win here, and that should calm down the tedious melodrama that predictably accompanies every defeat from the '' we want it now crew! ''Rashford please.Johnstone
Fosu Smalling Rojo Shaw
Rashford Herrera Schneiderlin Memphis
Mata
IbraThe goalkeeper Vermeer can be very dodgy on his day, Brad Jones is their other one so we should try and test him as much as possible.It depends on who are going to play over the weekend. If Rashford is going to start at the weekend, then start Martial up top so he can score and get his confidence back as well.
De Gea
TFM - Smalling - Blind - Rojo
Schneiderlin - Herrera
Mkhi - Mata - Depay
RashfordI reckon and hope we'll see at least nine changes in the Starting XI.
I'd go for this but with Martial over Depay.
Memphis obviously has to start this game or he might as well retire.
It just depends on who between Rashford and Martial is going to start against Watford on Sunday.If he has any sense he is going to leave those XI planed vs Watford at home.
Thats a pretty good looking team. I expect a lot of these guys to impress
Memphis should have gone on loan.
Pretty much this team.
Though I'd prefer Young be also be given some game time, though not sure where to deploy him.
Young would have delivered a friend superior performance today than Lingard was able to, that's was experience give you.
And I think we'll need that contribution sooner than we'll need Depay.
I agree with you.Players were knackered today. No way many, if any will play in this, except the two useless wingers perhaps.Im very excited for these games, much less pressure than the CL and we should be able to rest our key players.
I don't know how much Jose will rotate and I guess when we see the traveling squad well get a better idea.
I would start this;
De GeaBench; Romero, TFM, Schweinsteiger, Herrera, Young, Lingard, Martial
Darmian - Smalling - Jones - Rojo
Schneiderlin - Carrick
Mkhi - Mata - Depay
Rashford
Mhiki should definitely start, needs to get some confidence after the city game.
That team looks very fragile to me
I've gone for:
De GeaRooney and Zlatan left at home.
TFM Smalling Blind Rojo
Carrick
Schneiderlin Pogba
Mata Rashford Martial
But so hard to predict without knowing how seriously Jose's going to approach it.Does @Niall have to make all the matchday threads? I am bit superstitious, since he has made them we havent been very successful,I remember in my lurking days people used to make threads who had best record for united(when they made threads, united would get good results). I know he owns the caf but united comes first no?
Anyways on to the game, hope no rest for Pogba as we need to get him into match sharpness, I also hope henrikh play. Jones and smalling as defense, rashford uptop with martial on the other wing. Proper 4-3-3 with Pogba, carrick herrera midfield. With herrera and Pogba advanced. Rojo can play left back, right back can be TFM. Lets get back on track, i cant wait for the game.I saw a journalist on Twitter saying Miki is having an MRI scan today so I'm not sure if he'll be involved. But rest everyone.
Romero
Darmian--Smalling--Jones--Rojo
Carrick--Schneiderlin
Young--Mata--Memphis
Rashford
subs: Johnstone, TFM, Tuanzebe, Herrera, Mata, Lingard, Martial
I would include Miki if he's fit enough.
De Gea
TFM - Smalling - Blind - Rojo
Carrick
Herrera - Schneiderlin
Mata - Rashford - LingardI hope Shaw is dropped
Because of what happened last year in HollandDDGWe still have to win this match so we can't treat it like some game we can piss away. Shaw if fit, Mkhi and Lingard can sub. Bring up their confidence after City and see how Smalling-Bailly do.
Darmian-Bailly-Smalling-Rojo
TFM
Pogba-Blind
Mata-Rashford-Mempiss
Hope to see something like;
De Gea
TFM Bailly Smalling Blind
Herrera Schneiderlin
Pogba
Mata Rashford MartialAfter watching what happens when you play guys who have had very few minutes on the pitch, he might be wary of making too many changes. He will not want to lose this.- Status
