Manchester United 3:0 Ipswich Town

sincher · Sep 21, 2015

Shame Jones won't be fit enough to start (by the sound of it). Would like to see something like the following. Could maybe give a debut to Cameron Borthwick-Jackson at LB, or maybe play Varela. Some boldness would be nice, but with a solid midfield.

-----------------------Johnstone------------------------
Valencia--------McNair---------Rojo----------B-Jackson
---------Herrera----Schneidi----Fellaini----------------
Pereira--------------Wilson------------------------Young

Lingard, Martial, Varela, C-Pereira, Jones, Blind, Goss on bench.

Spurs v. Arsenal was always going to be the Wednesday choice.

Looks as though we won't even have televised highlights. Annoying.

I take it this isn't on TV?

Don't know where to start with the lineup prediction.

DWelbz19 · Sep 21, 2015

De Gea
Valencia - McNair - Rojo - Young
Herrera - Schweinsteiger
Pereira - Rooney - Lingard
Wilson

Can't see Rooney not starting. Valencia, Young, and one of the senior CMs will start too.

VanGaalEra · Sep 21, 2015

This is where someone can really step up in the lineup prediction game.

I hope we play Wilson/McNair/Johnstone/Pereira.... give them some game time.

I know I should appreciate having been televised so frequently rather than complain that we're not this once but feck it, that's shit.

Stream it is, I guess.

GapMinder · Sep 21, 2015

De Gea
Valencia Smalling Rojo Young
Herrera Schweinsteiger
Lingard Pereira Depay
Martial

This is a difficult one.

Went for De Gea. Don't think LVG wants to have even slight resentment from De Gea for some time to come.

LVG said he needs to rebuild the left flank with Shaw out. Expect him to start with what he sees is the way to go towards the coming months. So for the left flank I picked the players he seems to fancy most overall: Young - Schweinsteiger - Depay.

I think he wants to see Rojo/Smalling partnership as well.

Also put in two of the best youngster of the summer: Pereira and Lingard.

ice-bionic red · Sep 21, 2015

Want to see Wilson, Perreira and Lingard run riot

So there won't even be streams right? Is it televised anywhere else in the world?

There will be streams, it just won't be on Sky.

I think Rooney needs all the help he can get in trying to get back into form. Playing him against weak opposition is a no brainer really, if Louis is insistent upon fielding him regardless of performances.

Agree on Romero, though last season didn't Dave play every single game apart from the last game of the season?

Worked a charm for Falcao to be fair...

Will Singh · Sep 21, 2015

I was born in Ipswich so have a soft spot for them, they wont be a easy push over and were unlucky last season losing in the playoffs against the local rivals Norwich City.

I' still think we will win but if we go full youth then I can see Ipswich getting something out of it.

K2K · Sep 21, 2015

Romero
Valencia Mcnair Rojo LB
CM Herrera
Lingaard Fellaini/Perreira Young
Rooney

NJM78 · Sep 21, 2015

Looking at Ipswich in the Championship so far they seem to score a few but also concede just as many. I really don't think we should be playing a team full of fringe players either especially after last season. Also I would keep Martial playing and scoring, his confidence will be sky high and he looks fresh, get a commanding lead and bring on Wilson.

---------De Gea
Valencia Smalling Rojo Young
Schneiderlin Herrera
--Lingard--Rooney--Pereira
----------Martial

This would be my last chance for Rooney personally, if he cannot positively effect a game against a lower league team at Old Trafford then he must be dropped. He should not warrant a place when not in form, the faith LvG has shown in him needs to be repaid sharpish. Take Brugge out of the equation I do not recall the last time Rooney played decent.

3-0 or 3-1

Todd · Sep 21, 2015

Think to yourself 'which players can we not afford to see injured at the moment' and hope that nobody on the list is anywhere near the field for this one.

Run out an entire field of kids for all I care...not worth risking an injury to an important player.

de Gea
Valencia Smalling McNair Rojo
Herrera Schneiderlin
Pereira Rooney Young
Wilson

Gone with this team for the line-up prediction game. I just hope we rest some of our key players who have been playing a lot recently and give some of the youngsters a go in this game.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Sep 21, 2015

This not on telly? Across the channels, there's multiple La Liga, Ligue Un, Serie A and Bundesliga football on, but Sky only show one League Cup game? Not even more on the red button?

Hard to complain, since just about every United game so far has been on the telly. But I'll still complain. It's shite.

The feck? I just saw that this match won't be televised in Norway on wednesday! We always get to see United live.. can't fathom this.

sunama · Sep 21, 2015

I've noticed that a lot of you are putting 2nd tier players into the team.
Last year, LVG did exactly that and he got humiliated by MK Dons.
Given this, I doubt LVG is going to rely on backup players.
I think LVG is a cautious guy, so will put out a team which he believes will win the game comfortably.
But if we go up 2-3 goals, expect to see some substitutions.

buckooo1978 · Sep 21, 2015

gonna be hard to rest a few for this given the lack of depth in the squad

I'd play

-------------------------------De Gea---------------------------------
Valencia------------Smalling---------McNair------------------Young
-------------------------Herrera---------Schneiderlein---------------
Lingard------------------------Rooney------------------Fellaini-----
-------------------------------------Wilson----------------------------

can anyone see any other the other Under 21-s stepping up

it's when you try and pick a team for this you realise how light our squad is

sunama · Sep 21, 2015

Bojan11 said:
Why do people want to play a full strength team?

The only regulars should be Rojo, Young, Fellaini and Herrera. If our young players can't beat Ipswich at home then we got issues.

Thats exactly what LVG thought last year and we took one heck of a beating at the hands of the mighty MK Dons.
Do you think LVG will make the same error?

Wilson and Lingard playing for U-21 tonight along with Johnstone, so unless they are brought off early cannot see them being involved on Wednesday.

Wonder how the squad will cope with so many games and little or no rotation is some positions

Of course, which channel it's on depends on what country you live in

K cool

Probably UK and USA?

@Invictus[/USER] Think it would be nice if on the OP where it says date/kick off e.t.c you also mention which channel it's on.

First team squad should be able to field a strong enough team.

3KDré · Sep 21, 2015

I don't care who plays as long as we rest Martial (he is still 19), give Pereira a shot and we fecking win.

Not for the U-21 so might at least be on the bench for the first team on Wednesday.

Yeah but I'm thinking long term.... the only rotation we are likely to see in the next few months with be with the three midfield players and perhaps Fellaini and Herrera might get the odd game

With the league and CL coupled with inevitable injuries we might struggle
