They may start v Northampton too.That's why I pondered if. But yes to Carrick and Morgan.

Thanks very much. Looks like this could be the end of the line for Jones, another injury, not looking good.Travelling squad:
De Gea, Romero, Johnstone;
Darmian, Bailly, Blind, Fosu-Mensah, Rojo, Smalling;
Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera, Mata, Memphis, Pogba, Schneiderlin, Young;
Ibrahimovic, Martial, Rashford.
Jones and Mkhitaryan injured
We are in desperate need of Martial to get back to form I think.I really hope our wide players perform well.
All of them seem out of form at the moment.
Definitely. Hopefully has a good performance(if he plays).We are in desperate need of Martial to get back to form I think.
I think this is a pretty good guess. That backline is the most likely for sure. I do think it's likely Jose will play either Pogba or Ibra, though.I think it'll be:
Romero
Darmian--Smalling--Blind--Rojo
Schneiderlin--Herrera
Memphis--Mata--Martial
Rashford
Zlatan will surely get a break.I think this is a pretty good guess. That backline is the most likely for sure. I do think it's likely Jose will play either Pogba or Ibra, though.
Yeah, you'd think so. That he traveled is perhaps more Jose being cautious of needing to introduce him in case it all goes wrong. Pogba might start, though. Jose does like consistency in his team selection, so whilst I think he'll make wholesale changes for this game, depending on how seriously we're going to take this competition, I do think it's also likely that we'll see a few regular starters.Zlatan will surely get a break.
Feyenoord are currently a very good team but i'm still surprised that Ibrahimovic, Pogba and De Gea are in the squad.The players on Wednesday afternoon's flight to the Netherlands are as follows:
De Gea, Romero, Johnstone; Darmian, Bailly, Blind, Fosu-Mensah, Rojo, Smalling; Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera, Mata, Memphis, Pogba, Schneiderlin, Young; Ibrahimovic, Martial, Rashford.
Rested for weekend game.Why is Rooney not travelling, have I missed something?
Yeah he is shite and Jose has decided that he is not needed any moreWhy is Rooney not travelling, have I missed something?
Ah, I see now that Shaw and Valencia are not included as well.Rested for weekend game.
They are probably the next best team in the group. I think Jose is taking the competition seriously and also I think it's a champions league place if you win it. Best to go for it.Feyenoord are currently a very good team but i'm still surprised that Ibrahimovic, Pogba and De Gea are in the squad.
He told Mourinho to feck off after the Derby. I think it will be his last gameWhy is Rooney not travelling, have I missed something?
BT Sport I believe.Is this on channel 5?
Yeah BT Sport 3.BT Sport I believe.
Ok thanks.BT Sport I believe.
I agree, but you will probably be dissapointed.Blind is a very capable LB
Darmian Baily Smalling Blind
TFM
Harrera Pogba
Rashford Memphis
Martial
Zlatan on the Bench. This team would make me forget the Derby feckups.
We dont need to be losing this game straight after the derby, as long as Zlatan and fat Rooney get rested we should be ok, Shaw and Valencia are at home plus Fellaini and Mata should also get a rest but I think we are fine to give the others mentioned 60-70 mins. The likes of Rojo are shite, Jones is obviously injured again and Fosu may be a bit raw to throw straight into the mix. As for Pogba he had very little preseason so he should start this game and this should be the type of team he can dominate and show why he is so highly regarded. Watford will not be an easy game but I would rather we go into that one off a good result and I think if we drop too many players we will lose tonight.I'm surprised people are putting the likes of Pogba, Bailly and Blind in their teams. They were shattered at full time in the derby so it would be risky playing them here. I think we need to play a team full of squad players in this competition as it's the one advantage we have over City, who will always play their first 11 in the CL.
Probably just a question of numbers more than anything. Our first team squad isn't all that big and aren't there rules about home trained and that sort of stuff?Feyenoord are currently a very good team but i'm still surprised that Ibrahimovic, Pogba and De Gea are in the squad.
Jose quoted TFM and Darmian as alternatives for Valencia, so I guess it will be one of them.This back line is a tough one.
Darmian - Bailly - Blind - Rojo
Bailly - Smalling - Blind - Rojo
Darmian - Bailly - Smalling - Blind
Smalling - Bailly - Blind - Rojo (this stands out the most to me)
I hope Jose uses this opportunity to play a midfield of Schneiderlin - Herrera - and Pogba with Rooney sat at home on the couch. Mata and Martial on the wings. Give Rashford the start up top.
Subs: Zlatan, Memphis, and Carrick.
Jose stated that the decision to take a good squad is because he wants to send a message to the players not to take this competition lightly. I think he wants to win the first 3 games and then rotate as much as possible.Probably just a question of numbers more than anything. Our first team squad isn't all that big and aren't there rules about home trained and that sort of stuff?
What have City got to do with this ?.I'm surprised people are putting the likes of Pogba, Bailly and Blind in their teams. They were shattered at full time in the derby so it would be risky playing them here.
