Fred should play. He didn't play much so far and needs game time to settle.

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.

YeahPrefer not to see Jones tbh
If I were Jose I'd throw in a couple of talented kids to raise spirits...Romero, Dalot, Bailly, Jones, Young, Gomes, Matic, Pereira, Greenwood, Sanchez, Martial! Get the papers talking about us for positive reasons for a change (if we win)Bloody hope we see a youngster chucked in. Just spruce it up a bit please.Starting XI
Romero - Dalot, Bailly, Jones, Young - Pereira, Fellaini, Fred - Martial, Sanchez, Mata
Bench
Grant, Darmian, Smalling, Matic, Herrera, Lingard & Lukaku
Me too mate, I'll be there through the good and the bad. It will not be easy but I will enjoy the ride back to the top. (whenever that may be

I just hope it's by the time I have a child (if I do).Me too mate, I'll be there through the good and the bad. It will not be easy but I will enjoy the ride back to the top. (whenever that may be )
I'd prefer not to see Jones to be honest but we need Smalling and Lindelof to be fresh for two big games against West Ham and Valencia, so we need to use our full squad at some point.Prefer not to see Jones and Lindelof together tbh
This is the perfect game and perfect time against lower league opposition. We just have to trust that some of our squad will put in decent performances.Excited to see Dalot, but I'm still suffering a massive hang-over from the Wolves game. Being 8 points behind Liverpool in the league weighs on my mind even when watching cup games.
Still, hope the likes of Dalot and Pereira get a chance and impress. We need more flair, energy and creativity in the starting XI and maybe the young players can stake a claim for it.Derby have a chance. Mood at the club and among fans is not great at the moment and it somehow feels poetic that Lampard knocks out Mourinho.Hopefully we will see few youngsters getting chances, also good time to try Pereira as right winger.Am I the only one who is more "up" for this than our league games? Chance to see something fresh, maybe someone to have a standout performance and force their way into the proper team.
Would like to see Bailly, Dalot, Pereira, Fred and Martial at #9. Also pleeeease put Greenwood on the bench, stick him on for the last 15 minutes if we are winningSome early team news
Before United played Wolves, Mourinho confirmed that Dalot would be starting against Derby.
Rashford misses this game through suspension, and Rojo is the only player unavailable for this match due to injury.
Rule changes
There have been a number of rule changes to the Carabao Cup this season. These include (credit to MEN):
- No more extra-time - games ending in a draw will go straight to penalties
- ABBA penalty format scrapped - it was trialled last season but went down pretty badly, so the EFL have gone back to ABAB
Thinking Herrera will start now to add some much needed tenacity to the midfield. He'll only play an hour tops though and be replaced by either Matic or McTominay depending on how the game is going. It's a pity Rashford is suspended, as he'd actually get to play 90 minutes as a central striker in this game if not. However, it's his own fault for being a bit naive.I hope we start Sanchez up top tonight and allow him and Martial to interchange poisons as the match goes on.
We have to find a way to get the best out of Sanchez as we are stuck with him.@Damien can the lineup options please be updated?
They're taking poison? That explains a lot
Definitely feel Fred needs to start.The guy needs as much gametime under his belt as possible to get accustomed to English footie.
Yeah, kinda. Hoping it'll be fun to see something fresh/different. I've got high hopes for DalotThey're taking poison? That explains a lot
Bloody iPhone predictive text.
Just enjoy seeing us play & hope we win but don’t think we have a divine right to win every game.
Only 1 team can win the league every year so just enjoy seeing us play & see what the boys can doRomero
Dalot -- Bailly - Jones -- Young
Pereira
Fred --- Herrera
-- Chong ----------------- Sanchez
Martial
No option for Chong in the lineup predictions. Think he will start against Derby.
Or is likely to be used as a subNo sign of Chong amongst the players arriving at the Lowry.14:12
Man Utd's squad for Derby fixture revealed
No Paul Pogba, no David de Gea and no youth-team players, this is the squad Mourinho has gone with for tonight’s game:
- Goalkeepers: Sergio Romero, Lee Grant.
- Defenders: Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Diogo Dalot, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Matteo Darmian.
- Midfielders: Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard, Andreas Pereira, Fred, Marouane Fellaini, Scott McTominay.
- Forwards: Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez.
Thats a good one! Chong not with the team though.Will Alexis start? Maybe good chance to find some form
Think that applies to most of them tbhPleasantly surprised by the lack of line-up selections with half of the U18 team in this thread
No Valencia either
Don't think he is up to two games a week now, so perfect Dalot getting another chance.
More of the same tonight then judging by the pool of players he'll be picking from
. A few unknown academy prospects would have made this a bit more exciting, I rarely enjoy league cup games. Half empty stadium full of kids on school trips.
Booo, was hoping for some youth teamers.No Chong and Gomes.Romero
Dalot Bailly Rojo Young
Mctominay, Perreira Fellaini
Rashford Lukaku MartialI'm really looking forward to this. Dont expect a stellar performance.. but a low stakes watch is what I need.Tweet

Will change it for future rounds. Would have been unfair to update on the day or two before the game as most people wouldn't have been able to use the options.
This sounds OK for a random anonym forum but if it's a genuine quote from Jose then that's quite sick, match programme or not.- Status
