    A away game in which we have to go out and chase the result. Sounds tailor made for our pro-active, risky style...

    Wolfsburg lost to a last-minute matchwinner today at home. Expect a better performance from them, I can't see them losing 2 home games in a row especially against a toothless Man Utd.

    I don't see us progressing. We can't beat Woflsburg in Germany, not on this form. We will be lucky not to lose.

    Wolfsburg's home record is very good and the pressure on us is huge, it's hard to see us winning. LvG is unpredictable so he might go 3-5-2 and hope to nick something on a set piece, but I'd love to us try this.....

    We can't buy a goal. 4 out of 12 wins, this game came at the worst time.

    Hopefully it clicks or wolfsburg just have a stinker.

    It's not as if we should be expected to get something here anyway, regardless of manager. Wolfsburg are a better team with better players and play in a higher quality league.

    The damage was done in the PSV game, this should have been a nothing game.

    I cannot believe we are in a similar situation to Liverpool last year going into this game. They had Madrid as well..

    vibrant attacking football
    0-0 and out.

    CSKA are done n dusted so have no real incentive to help us out.
    That's not accurate. CSKA can play Europa League if they beat PSV. Unless they prefer to focus on their domestic duties rather than playing Europa, they will go for a away win.

    I'd move Blind to leftback, Darmian to rightback and Carrick to centreback alongside Smalling. Schmidfield in front of them, and the same front four that finished the game against West Ham (Martial, Mata, Memphis and Lingard).

    Didn't watch the game yesterday so no idea how we played.

    Hopefully we'll do a snatch and grab job. We only need to better PSV's result right? So if they draw, we just need to draw yeah? Too lazy at the moment to check the table.

    United and CSKA to win and the group will finish in the order most expected at the start of the season. I really can't see Wolfsburg doing that well, they still look a bit too naive in Europe in my opinion.

    This is the most important game in LVG's MUFC career. This could make or break him.
    When we went out of the CL in 2014, Moyes was sacked and I'm sure LVG is fully aware of this.
    With this in mind, I think the target will be 1-0 and it is very possible for us to achieve this.

    this will either be a 3 or 4-0 victory or we'll lose 1-0.
    I doubt we can score 3 or 4 goals in the CL.
    [please forget Brugg - that was a pre-qualifier, Brugg were never a CL team].

    I honestly feel that if we manage to score 1 early on we will go on to score more. These chances will start going in at one point! Hopefully it's now.

    We will win, Wolfsburg will want to win the group, they won't want a draw and assume that PSV screw up, so they will attack. United will hit them on the break. Lots of Wolfsburg possession, but United will hold out.

    Easy 3-1 win, we will control the game and go 3-0 up with Wolfsburg scoring in the last 10 minutes, we will then see the game out.

    I don't see United beating Wolfsburg who lost to a last-minute matchwinner at home. Losing a second time in a row at home versus a toothless Man Utd...can't see it happening unfortunately.
