Broadcasting blackouts happen in America too for many of their big sports, but are a lot more nuanced around specific locations and often tied to tickets actually still being available. They are also done to protect local broadcasters too, who may share rights with a national broadcaster for big matches.

The I can't win position hahaThe one where McTominay is injured and I don't want Matic in the team
His performance in 07/08:
His first ever hattrick was against this lot.
Also, some Ronaldo-Rooney-Tevez link-up brilliance
I know that you bastarddont care about how it works just want to see ronaldo start this game. At home, coming out in the number 7. If that can't will this team to smash newcastle we are all doomed.
It does make you question the fairness of having the window open past the start of the season. Newcastle have to have Ronaldo twice whereas Southampton don’t.
But then they tried closing the window earlier and it was a shambles so I don’t even know what’s better.
I'm more interested in bedding in Sancho and developing Greenwood, we shouldn't need Paul against Newcastle. But he can play in central midfield without Scott, though I'd rather see VDB get a chance.
I'd be more interested if he signed a contract.Finally a selection nightmare for Ole. Greenwood has scored 3 in 3, surely he can't be dropped. Why stick with the two defensive mids? Why not go 433 or even a modified 442? You'd want to see Ronaldo, Sancho, and Greenwood all starting, but how to fit Pogba in and still have some defensive stability?Ronaldo wont start.
It will be Cavani.
I’m just been selfish as I’m going to the Villa game and I want that game to be his full debutWith Mata as a false striker.
Thanks! Whatever the result, I'm expecting an incredible atmosphere.
I think you're mad. He's nailed on to start for my money. He's had a full pre-season and just played 90 minutes for Portugal. Plus Ole will want to give him the whole game so he can try to score on his return. He'll be in the starting XI; put your house on it.Any idea how serious Sancho's injury is? Wouldn't be surprised if we see something like this now:
de Gea
Wan-Bissaka Varane Maguire Shaw
Fred Matic
Greenwood Bruno Pogba
Ronaldo
Doubt he would've started anyway. Pogba on the left, Sancho bench in any case imo.I'd say the big question is whether Ole will risk starting a fresh Cavani with Ronaldo up top as a two. Ronaldo will obviously start, but it seems a bit daft not to use a fresh Cavani from the very start.Team might as well pack it in if we don't get three points here.
I will bet whatever amount of money you want that Ronaldo starts.
Why to start Cavani, when we can start Pogba and Greenwood?DDGNot likely but hoping for something like this
AWB......Varane......Maguire.....Shaw
Matic
Bruno......Pogba
Greenwood.....Cavani.....Ronaldo
Expecting this lineup, although I wouldn’t start Fred personally.
De Gea
Wan-Bissaka Varane Maguire Shaw
Fred Matic
Greenwood Bruno Pogba
Ronaldo

DDGSo is this going to be the most streamed match on the planet?If Fred is picked again I'll claw my eyes out. Please give a pivot of Matic & VDB a go. Pleaseeeeee.T-4 to the most electric Old Trafford crowd in a long long time.
That is what I’d like to see.DDG
AWB
Varane
Maguire
Shaw
Fred

Fernandes
Ronaldo
Cavani
Imperative to start Sancho. He needs to find his feet and constantly putting him on the bench isn’t going to help much
Swap Fred for VdB and I'm happy. He needs a game and Matic and VdB played well in pre season.
I agree. He needs the confidence he will find in front of a hot Old Trafford crowd alongside Ronaldo. The Mkhitaryan treatment could do real damage. For both England and United he’s looked a lot less certain so far.
That said, if he is injured, Jesse is going to have a lovely old time with Ronaldo and Greenwood in a front three. I think Ole should, and will, start him if Sancho is unavailable.Sancho has a knock though. Suspect he will be on the bench.
Is he actually in training at the moment? I thought he had to isolate for 5 days. He’ll probably start still tbf no chance I see him not
The game isn’t til Saturday. He’ll be done isolating by about Wednesday. He played & scored for Portugal so he’s clearly fit. Cavani has barely kicked a ball so if anything Ronaldo should be fitter.
Yeah, the only real question mark for me is who starts beside Fred in midfield. McTominay is still out, and I think Sancho picked up a knock (as above), so I can see Pogba back to LW + and Matic next to Fred.
Fred - Matic
Greenwood - Bruno - Pogba
Ronaldo- Status
