Manchester United 4:0 Wigan Athletic

Bastian tweeted about the game so I think he is in the squad for sure.

Are you serious. This!

Btw I hope you'll beat the French tonight. You deserve it.

Thanks. We should beat Wigan without much drama whilst the final is perhaps more of a one off happening.

Samid · Jan 29, 2017

Desperately need to rest Herrera and Pogba. This is where Morgan would have been handy.

Fellaini
Mata - Rooney
Mkhi - Rashford - Martial

Could we get away with something as ugly as this?

The White Pele · Jan 29, 2017

Excited to see Shaw and Martial. I still believe those two can take us to another level if both can get back to their best form from last season.

Hernandez - BFA · Jan 29, 2017

We'll win today irregardless of the team we put out. It just depends on whether we struggle to 1-0 win or get a 4-0 mauling.

I agree. I'd love to see this as our first 11 more often than not.

De Gea
Valencia Bailly Rojo Shaw
Pogba Carrick
Mkhitaryan Mata Martial
Zlatan

With Carrick replaced as a starter in the summer by Weigl or Neves. Griezmann to replace Rooney in the squad and be the first choice no10 behind Zlatan. A new CB like Lindelof for obvious reasons.

De Gea
Valencia Bailly Lindelof Shaw
Pogba Weigl
Mkhitaryan Griezmann Martial
Zlatan

We would finally have a world class 11 for the first time since 2009ish

Unsure here whether to see this or the WC final between France and Norway in Handball.

Girl, how is that even a question? Club > country

DWelbz19 · Jan 29, 2017

It is quite possible Fellaini and Schweinsteiger can be the midfield pairing today :nervous:

Is the confidence a result of our record against them? Or something else?

I don't remember that really. Which one. Even if it happened it hasn't happen after that and doubt Mourinho will go for that. Would like to see it btw.

I agree it's very unlikely and it would be nice to try once. It was just to show that Mourinho once considered it (Blind played a disastrous 66' against Dortmund in Shanghai, in a midfield two with Herrera).

It's probably more a result of Wigan being shit!

Herrera watching the tennis
No word on whether he was watching the Australian Open from the Lowry or from home. But it wouldn’t be a big surprise to see him rested today.

Sin duda @RafaelNadal es el mejor deportista español de todos los tiempos, lo pienso cuando gana pero todavía más cuando pierde

I hope so would like to see him support Pogba if playing and act as a metronome and keep our gaming flowing in transition back and forth

Don't think either will start. Or perhaps in Pogba's case it's more of a wish.

Those teams look very exciting in an attacking sense but we would get overrun in midfield with those teams. Pogba is actually poor defensively and goes missing leaving us open at the back. It's ok with Carrick and Herrera behind him but with just one midfielder partnering Pogba will will likely be caught out on the counter repeatedly.

It tells a lot about Mourinho's achievemnents the overconfidence about this game, after Liverpool got thrashed at home by a very similar opponent and Tottenham had a real scare.

Sammyjunn · Jan 29, 2017

Nadal disappointed, now its time for Ajax and then United, I just cant see us crushing them.

Charlie Foley · Jan 29, 2017

Really looking forward to this, I know people don't care about it as much but I love the FA Cup.

top1whoisman · Jan 29, 2017

Would be surprised if Valencia doesn’t start, hasn’t played in 8 days and he has no problem playing on Sunday and next Wednesday. That being said, would love to see TFM start

Rumours of starts for Fosu-Mensah and Schweinsteiger
That would be very popular with fans.

Craig Norwood @CraigNorwood
Unconfirmed, but, Timothy Fosu-Mensah could be at right-back today. Rumours that Bastian Schweinsteiger & Luke Shaw could start, also.

Not really a rumour that Shaw could start since Mourinho practically confirmed it anyway.

Yeah, guess Norwood is struggling with the lack of attention without any signings at airports, so he just wanted some love.

I've predicted Young at RB, TFM and Basti as subs. Time to change?

Should be a win by as many as we really want....

Don’t think Young will be in the squad, but don’t blame me then

Android1974 · Jan 29, 2017

Trying to see if Fosu-Mensah works at right-back so as to set Young free?

OohAahMartial · Jan 29, 2017

Interesting. Would have thought TFM in midfield. Maybe Mourinho hasn't made up his mind on his best position yet. Or perhaps he will start at one position but get moved to the other later in the game. Seems Schweini may actually start a game and rumours of him being registered for the EL. Can't see him playing more than 60 minutes though. Fellaini and Schweini presumably in a 4-2-3-1? Risky.

Will answer the question of whether he will be allowed to leave or not.

Maybe as Ashley is rarely getting picked now. If he works it could save us a lot of money on a backup RB and TFM could be Tony V's replacement eventually. That money could be spent elsewhere.

DWelbz19 · Jan 29, 2017

Don't believe Timboo will start. Valencia was rested against Hull so I reckon he'll play today.

nemanja15 · Jan 29, 2017

Valencia won't play three in a week though... I'd have thought Mou will want him to start the two PL games this week so my hunch is he'll miss out again here.

Scholesy · Jan 29, 2017

Mensah should be played at CB or DM

DomesticTadpole · Jan 29, 2017

Nine changes
Still enough quality to see off Wigan.

Suggestion is there could be up to nine changes to the #mufc team.

I really hope TFM starts but am I the only going that he is not considered as a long term option at RB. I'd rather have him play centrally than Fellaini

Catt · Jan 29, 2017

Got a feeling Shaw & Martial will start.
