I watched Brighton Stoke at the Amex Monday. Both stoke goals were very soft and from poor defending. Bong is a bit of a train wreck so very vulnerable down the left. They haven't got great players but Houghton has made them into a good team so they will put up a fight but I can see a comfortable United win.

Is rojo ready to start again after playing 90 mins the other day?I hope Rojo starts today. I hope Jose has some Bananas kept for him just in case.
I love that kid. Our most improved player in the last 18 months.The panic over Pogba
He’ll start.
Not sure about rojo, he played 90 mins the other day. Lindelof?I hope Rojo starts today. I hope Jose has some Bananas kept for him just in case.
I love that kid. Our most improved player in the last 18 months.
Looking forward to seeing Lindelöf against a physical team, we'll be fine…
I reckon Lindelof and Smalling will be the CB pairing. Rojo needs to be brought along steadily.
They shouldn't have barely any of the ball, so we should be able to smuggle Lindelof in.Looking forward to seeing Lindelöf against a physical team, we'll be fine…
If we can't play him against a Brighton at home, we really do have problems.
I removed him.Tweet

Much apu about nothing. Maybe he camped out at Jesse’s house or something.13:44SAMUEL LUCKHURST
Early team news suggestion
Ed Woodward has just arrived here and seemed to be giving a guest a mini tour. It wasn’t Gareth Bale’s agent. Or Antoine Griezmann’s.
There are suggestions the same front four which started against Newcastle will start today, so that would mean Martial and Rashford lining up again. Pogba will be alongside Matic.
(Image: Eamonn and James Clarke)Why would agents want a tour?
God knows. It might just be a guest. They are speculating about an agent. Maybe he is a builder and Ed wants a quote to update OT.
Would’ve had him off after an hour midweek with today in mind. But if he can start today, I’d be delighted.I hope Rojo starts today. I hope Jose has some Bananas kept for him just in case.
I love that kid. Our most improved player in the last 18 months.
Hoping a pairing of him and Bailly isn’t too far off.If Martial starts, I wonder what the "Jose hates Martial" brigade would say. Currently our most important attacking player imo.3 points a must here. It is our easiest game before two tough aways, and our away form has been a worry. So our home form better be perfect.
Especially with Liverpool and Chelsea playing each other, we can extend the gap with one or both of them.3:58
Absentees
Pogba got off the coach but still no sign of Lingard, Blind, Darmian, Shaw or Tuanzebe.
13:55Pretty offensive if Rashford starts behind Lukaku again. Hard to say Jose is parking the bus with that set-up.Tweet
— Twitter API (@user) dateWith Pogba back could it be worth giving Mkhi another go? I know it's pretty embarrassing he only seems to be effective with Pogba behind him but if he can play himself into some kind of form it will be better for us in the long run.
EDIT: Ah Mkhi on the bench. I'd give him a cheeky cameo later to see if we can begin extracting his head from his arse.Team
No changes in the starting 11Tweet

It's attacking alright but parking the bus against Brighton at Old Trafford would be a nadir, even for Jose!

Next.10/11, predicted Rojo instead of Lindelof.Great line-up.Looks good to me.Lovely Team. I am all for this.Martial starting 3 in a row in God knows how long. Get inHow long until the inevitable Lindeloff mistake leading to a goal?Martial starting his third game in a row. Mourinho hates him though.Blimey! Only one defender on the bench. I would have had a full house if I had picked Lindelof.Brighton team
