Is there going to be a press conference for this?

No. A couple of questions regarding this game were asked in yesterday's post-match press conference.

Do we reckon Darmian would dare venture forward against the mighty Burton Albion?!

He had a very nice attacking game the last time he played left-wingback, although in a friendly.

Vidyoyo · Sep 18, 2017

Oooo just realised this is on Wednesday. That's nice because I'll be at the King Power tomorrow watching Leicester vs. Liverpool reserves.

Sereques · Sep 19, 2017

This is a chance for Mourinho to rest key players. DDG, Valencia, Baily, Jones, Matic, Mikhitaryan, Lukaku should be rested.

Maradona10 · Sep 19, 2017

Oh feck off i thought this was today.

Escobar · Sep 19, 2017

I hope Jose plays lot's of kids

Burrow · Sep 19, 2017

Shaw not involved in the U23 game yesterday, so maybe he'll get some minutes for this one.

If he doesn't then it really isn't looking good for him.

-Romero--------
Axel-Smalling-Lindelof-Darmian-Blind
Carrick-Herrera-Fellaini
-Lingard---Martial-

Subs : Shaw , Mctominay,Rashford

Kostov · Sep 19, 2017

I'm hoping to see the following starting 11:

Romero

Tuanzebe - Lindelof - Smalling - Shaw

Herrera - Carrick - McTominay
Lingard - Rashford - Martial

A bunch of youngsters on the bench and some young winger from the second team getting a chance. Indy Boonen maybe? I know he featured for the U-23 last night. Any chance he might be involved ?

BenjaminP · Sep 19, 2017

Romero
Darmian
Lindelof
Smalling
Blind
Carrick
Tuanzebe
Mctominay
Lingard
Martial
Wilson

Finding it difficult to decide what kind of line-up we'll go with. We have a mix of players who need to start, a couple of kids we'd like to see, and oddly, having to play some players who I'd actually be cool with resting such as Rashford, Mata, and Mkhitaryan (at least one of them is probably going to have to start).

I'm sure we'll see Romero, Smalling, Lindelof, Carrick, Herrera, Lingard, and Martial start, however, the rest gets a bit more complicated. Rashford probably starts as part of a front three, but does Fellaini stay in for now or will Jose give McTominay a game? The full backs are a tough call.. Did Young do well enough that he is the Left Back for Southampton away? Or do we leave Blind out until then? Is Shaw ready to at least be on the bench? Does Tuanzebe start or get subbed on?

Romero
Darmian Smalling Lindelof Blind
Herrera Carrick McTominay
Lingard Martial Rashford
---
de Gea; Tuanzebe, Shaw; Fellaini, Mata, Mkhitaryan; Lukaku

Valencia, Bailly, Jones, and Matic just don't need to be in the squad. Young might stay in at the expense of Mata/Mkhitaryan but after being out so long it'd make sense to leave him out after 90 minutes twice in a row. Shaw and Tuanzebe are very likely to get minutes from the bench (maybe the latter will even start over Blind).

Just hope we can get through this game without having to do too much.

Very sensible analysis, I agree 100%.

Android1974 · Sep 19, 2017

Or Shaw is deemed to start or he doesn't make the bench.

roonster09 · Sep 19, 2017

Got any team news? Given the depth of United's squad, it is likely that Jose Mourinho will field a strong side to face Burton, despite already confirming that David De Gea, Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly and Nemanja Matic will all be rested. Three other players who will not feature for the Reds are Paul Pogba, who picked up a hamstring injury last week against FC Basel, Marcos Rojo, who continues his recovery from a knee injury, and Axel Tuanzebe, who is ruled out with a back problem. For the visitors, summer signing Liam Boyce will once again be sidelined, deadline-day arrival John Brayford is unavailable due to being cup-tied, but recent absentees Hope Akpan and Matty Palmer could be in line to make a return to action

Tuanzebe is injured.

Android1974 · Sep 19, 2017

Can't figure out a 3-5-2 with the expected players. Could we finally see a 3-4-3?

AdnanRED · Sep 19, 2017

I would like to see

Romero
Axel Lindelof Smalling Shaw
Herrera Carrick McTominay
Lingard Martial Rashford

Herrera needs to play, he should start vs Soton. From what I saw Lemina can get from one side of the pitch to another so we are going to need Ander to be on top of his game, Matic and Fellaini would be too slow as a pairing.

stygg · Sep 19, 2017

No Mourinho pre-match press conference?

nemanja15 · Sep 19, 2017

Could a mod maybe add James Wilson to the line-ups game please? Gonna be interesting, reckon there are eight or so nailed on starters but beyond that who knows. I thought Rashford looked pretty spent at the weekend but he might well have to play.

ROFLUTION · Sep 19, 2017

Now where is Rooney when we need him the most!

Don't think he'll be in the squad as he played with the U23's yesterday.

ManuMou · Sep 19, 2017

There is only one thing I would like to see, that is, Shaw !

It was mentioned at the of Sunday's post-match press conference the next part would be embargoed until Tuesday evening. My guess is that's the pre-match for Burton.

Nickosaur · Sep 19, 2017

Shame Tuanzebe is injured. Silver lining is it gives other squad options the chance to get minutes.

Fergie won't be watching United midweek
Sir Alex Ferguson won’t be at the Hawthorns to watch United take on West Brom tomorrow night. Instead he will be watching his son, Darren Ferguson, take his Doncaster Rovers side to face Arsenal away in the Carabao Cup.

“He’s going to be there, my mother is going to be there and my family, so it’s good, good for everyone.

“It’s important that we go there and put on a performance,” said the Rovers manager.

Eh? Have I missed something?

They must've got confused and thought we were playing West Brom instead of Man City. Simple mistake I suppose, don't all players City sign make a similar error?

It's the fact that it is still on M.E.N. blog and nobody there seems to realised the mistake.

P-Nut · Sep 19, 2017

With the news Tuanzabe is out I'll go with

Romero
Darmian Lindelof Smalling Shaw
Herrera Carrick Fellaini
Lingard Martial
Rashford

I'd prefer Rashford and Fellaini to be rested but can't see how you do it. Suppose the team is strong enough to have Mctominay in for Fellaini, but resting Rashford is going to be a struggle as there is no one to play LW to push Martial up top.

Fully Fledged · Sep 19, 2017

Romero
Darmian Lindelof Smalling Shaw
Carrick
Herrera Fellaini
Lingard Rashford Martial

el3mel · Sep 19, 2017

Tuanzebe is out ? Gutted for that.

I don't hope to see Fellaini and Herrera starting together, not Rashford and Martial together as well. Both Fellaini and Rashford must take a rest while Martial and Herrera starting.

Hope to see McTominay them. Getting 11/11 this match gonna be impossible. :lol:

Resting Matic will be key. Herrera should feature.
