    No doubt Bruno will start. One day training is enough. He’s fit. No reason not to start him with the lack of options. Give him and Fred a sleepover with a couple of DVDs and they’ll be alright.

    I'll be more than happy with another 1-0 win. Bruno to make his debut in the 58th minute to a empty Old Trafford?

    Hope to see Bruno, at least as a sub. Have a feeling he won't come on though.

    Let's see if that 58th minute protest actually happens.
    He'll surely start, he played on Monday night so fitness not a problem. He'll have at least one training session before the game and you have Matic suspended so barely any options in central midfield now.

    Think this will be 1-1. Your matches with Wolves are always tight and can't see this being any different. Chelsea got Leicester away and Spurs got Man. City so winner of this game could only be 3 points off 4th....even more likely to be a draw then given Chelsea droppin points recently hasn't really been exposed.

    Next two games in the league will be massive. Could be level with Chelsea or 12 points off.

    You just know we'll draw these shithawks in Europe too.
    Absolutely no doubt about that. It's a miracle we didn't have to play them in the League Cup.

    Why can't we play, say, Norwich all the time instead of these thundercunts?

    Thought for a moment, that at least this will be the last time we play these cnuts this season, but then I realized we might still meet them in the Europa League :lol: it's bound to happen.

    Get three points here, and maybe 1-2 players back after our two week break, and we might be in decent shape for a top four push. Let's go!

    Sick of the sight of these helmets.

    Bruno won't start, nor should he.

    Dont think Bruno will start. Just makes more sense to leave him as a sub to start and start vs Chelsea in 2 weeks time after the break.

    De Gea
    Awb Lindelof Maguire Shaw
    Matic Fred
    Greenwood Mata James

    Why on Earth is this on a Saturday when we had a game on Wednesday ffs?

    I hope we smash them. I'm starting to get tired playing against these lot.

    Don't think Matic is available for this one. ( Suspended). Down to the bare bones in Midfield then. He may go for 3 -5- 2 or 3-4-1-2.
    Wolves strong in midfield.

    Double yellow though. Doesn’t it just add up instead of a suspension?

    Fernandes will come on for Mata after 65 minutes.

    Not fair to start Bruno so soon but if we can, we have too. He'l get a break soon.

    With Matic out, it seems obvious to start Bruno. I hope so anyway.

    Like others have said, I'm sick of playing Wolves. Such a negative destructive team. But I think we're building the sort of resilience needed to play teams like this, so hoping for a good result.

    Yes, Matic out changes things which is why I think he will go 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 With just Fred and Pereira and then Mata as the 1 behind the front 2 and Fernandes coming on for him after 65 minutes.

    Bruno oddly will be playing for us against Portugal if he starts.

    Perfect game for Lingy
    Lingy should never ever play for us again.
    Any manager or coaching team who are good at their job would know that JLingz should not be playing in the EPL.
    The guy doesn't score or assist, unless playing a team about to be relegated to League 2. I think Championship is his level, but it's possible that he may have to drop down to League One to score/assist.

    And btw, Pereira is also in the same category as JLingz. Both have an allergy to scoring or assisting.

    Might be the time to try Dan James as a no.9 flanked by Greenwood and Martial, with Martial it's one step forward, two steps back when he's playing centrally so maybe he'll be more comfortable playing from the left again, and James is more suited to be the annoying git who won't give the Wolves CB's time on the ball, just a thought

    James
    Martial Lingard Greenwood
    Fred Pereira
    Williams Maguire Bailly AWB

    I think this has to be it. We should be able to press the shit out of them with that team, and possibly hold the ball up better with Bruno in there instead of Lingard.

    My wit's end
    Bruno's first training session at Carrington will be on Friday.

    I doubt Ole will make a final decision about him until he's been assessed alongside the rest of the squad.

    Its funny when your picking a team and desperately trying to keep Lingard out of it to the point you gladly pick phil jones or shaw as a cb or think 'mata can play 90 mins, he'll be grand'.
