Decent team but i would have liked to see Dalot or Lingard starting, our right side is non existent there.
He's been bad ever since early months of last year i.e. the later half of last season -- his attacking has gotten worse and worse towards the end, still defensively strong.What’s the deal with all the Valencia hate here? Yes, I know he’s been really bad lately, but so has plenty of other players. Look at Matic, everyone (me included) wanted him as far away from the team as possible, and now he’s playing really well. Give Valencia a chance to play a game or two under Ole before giving him all this hate, please.
Personally I would have rested Martial, Lingard and Rashford completely against Reading and played all 3 tonight, with Lukaku, Sanchez and Mata starting on Saturday, but we'll see how this plays out.It's just a rest. I imagine that he'll start the FA cup game while Rashford gets rest.
To be on the bench?Very happy for Fred.
Is he? Looks like a right back to me? Like for like for Young.Valencia at RM again
That he did not even travel indicates to me that he is injured or sick. No need to read to much into this IMO.Fellaini is not in the squad despite not playing much since Ole took over. I'm sure media will pick up on this and there'll be speculation regards his future. If Ole's blueprint is to play as he's began then I can't see him being part of the plan over the remaining season.
I'm going to say it'll be different with Ole as manager. He likes his attackers to push further up the field and to get numbers in the box. This leaves space on the wings and on the edge of the box (as we've already seen with improved shooting chances for Pogba and Rashford). And so Valencia is a good addition to the right in that he has some pace still and can overlap when Mata comes inside.Thought we'd never again have to bear witness to the Mata/Valencia right wing horror-show.
Feck sake Ole.
Have to think Rashford sits vs Reading so he has a 10 day break before Spurs. Lukaku will probably start vs Reading and get his fitness up and then it's possible he starts at Tottenham.I would think rotation and fear of injuries due to tiredness have dictated team selection today. Surprised Rashford has started.
I was hoping the disappearance of Fellaini from the squad would go entirely unnoticed, that he'd just fade into obscurity, never to be heard from again.Fellaini is not in the squad despite not playing much since Ole took over.

Let’s bloody hope so!Fellaini is not in the squad despite not playing much since Ole took over. I'm sure media will pick up on this and there'll be speculation regards his future. If Ole's blueprint is to play as he's began then I can't see him being part of the plan over the remaining season.

I agree with this. I would only ever want to see him in a midfield role. As a forward he is just too slow and weak. BUT.....I really don't want to spend my life complaining about line ups. Good managers make teams more than the sum of their parts. So lets see what this team can do. I'm definitely happy with our midfield three, and it's good to see no Fellaini on the bench. Sorry Marouanne.Mata doesn't have the legs to play an attacking role in this team imo.
Indeed. In the last few games our fullbacks have been positioned so much higher up the pitch than previous manager(s) allowed us. Basically referring to that and hoping it will allow Valencia to rediscover some of his attacking nous.Is he? Looks like a right back to me? Like for like for Young.
Why?Very happy for Fred.
Presumably he feels sorry for me too since he and I both didn't get the United job.just shut up gary i beg you
you feel sorry for the sacked manager cos you yourself were sacked we get it
you'd think someone would have told himGary Neville still going on about how Pogba done his Instagram post himself even though Adidas said it was them.

"a likely story " very convenientGary Neville still going on about how Pogba done his Instagram post himself even though Adidas said it was them.
He knows but he’s too stubborn/stupid to admit that he was pathetically wrongyou'd think someone would have told him
Let's hope! Not before time, either.Tweet
