Another draw or a defeat will pile on the pressure on Ole and his coaching team. With the squad we have, it should be a walk in the park but who knows what mood they will be in?Tricky line up. I think I would play:
------------------------------------------------De Gea--------------------------------------------
AWB------------------------Varane----------------------Maguire--------------------------Shaw
-----------------------------------Fred------------------------Pogba-------------------------------
Greenwood------------------------------Bruno--------------------------------Sancho
------------------------------------------------Cavani---------------------------------------------
I've no doubt Ole will play Lindelof, Matic and probably Martial or James (FML).If Pogba is in the pivot then James is 100 % starting.So, start Sancho and push Pogba back to midfield? or leave Pogba on the left, Sancho right and DVB Mid.
Heavy right wing that is...
Seriously, I think this will be mostly the lineup, but dont see Cavani starting yet, nor Varane. Lindelof will continue and I reckon James or Lingard will step in.Even with McT injured, I doubt Ole would trust DVB. It'll be either Pogba or MaticDe Gea
Wan Bissaka Varane Maguire Shaw
Van de Beek Fred
Sancho Bruno Pogba
Greenwood
Hope both Sancho and Varane get starts. Have heard or seen nothing about Cavani so assuming bench at best with him.Will a triple pivot work? With split forwards and a false 9?

I’d really like to see this side.
Hmm I wonder what Ole will do.
Probably Matic and Fred again
With McTominay out its probably going to be Matic starting again ffs.
Really wish we'd just try a midfield 3 of Fred, VDB and Bruno. With Varane in defence we don't need a 3rd CB which is what Matic essentially is.
My lineupI've been impressed by Wolves under this new manager. Unlucky to have not scored against Leicester and Spurs. Don't think this is an easy game, especially with Matic and Fred likely to be our midfield. Could make a very real argument that Neves and Moutinho is a better midfield 2 than Fred and Matic which is pretty depressing. I think this will be the lineup even though I'd prefer VDB to start next to Fred:
de Gea
AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
Matic Fred
Sancho Bruno Pogba
Mason
Prediction: Wolves 1-2 Utd (Bruno, Mason)De Gea, Shaw, Maguire, Lindelof, AWB, Matic, Fred, Pogba, Greenwood, Sancho.
I don't think Ole will drop Lindelof so Varane will have to wait. Donny isn't starting, think we'd need at least another two midfield injuries before that happens...may get 5 mins off bench though.
1-1Despite narrowly losing their opening two games, they've actually performed well and look good. They're unlucky to not have got anything from both games, hope they stay unlucky on Sunday!

AWB--Varane--Maguire--Shaw

Not optimistic to be honest. Varane needs to make his debut, maybe he can inject a bit of confidence back into the team.Lindelof will start ahead of Varane and get outmuscled by Raul
Sancho will be on the bench again and get 10/15 mins at the end
Matic and Fred will start together. We have never won when they have started together.
We won’t even have a shot on target and will loseMcTominay's groin surgery means we are fecked. This, more than anything, screams for us to buy a midfielder. We have no good combo options left.
Ole likes to pull surprises. I wouldn't think benching an in-form player was a good idea, but I've seen it happen. One only need look back to Martial being benched for Alexis to see this.
Ole's got a selection nightmare on his hands because he knows - as surely as everyone else does - that Fred + Matic does not work.
Maybe Ole goes nuts and plays 3 CBs and changes the whole shape. Ha ha.
We're dropping points.-------------------------Shadow of DeGea----------------------

I think Lindelof has been very good last two games and benching him now would be too risky. Expect Varane late 2nd half.
Sancho needs to start. It's go-time, son.
I could see Pogba getting benched, only because I just added him to my fantasy team.
If Garner is available I would switch things around and get him in the game from the start.Benching Varane again
It’s time to play him ffs. And also we gotta stop playing 2 defensive mind of midfielders just to protect Lindelof and Maguire partnership. I can’t think any better debut than this.
That's the lineup I think Ole will play, not what I want him to play.Benching Varane again
It’s time to play him ffs. And also we gotta stop playing 2 defensive mind of midfielders just to protect Lindelof and Maguire partnership. I can’t think any better debut than this.
You said benching Lindelof would be too risky. That’s what you wanted because you think benching Lindelof and playing Varane would be too risky.
See above. I think Ole will introduce Varane second half. I agree with that part. The part I don't agree with is Fred+Matic partnership.
Come on, let’s not making excuses to create pointless argument. That’s the XI you want based on your own logic not based on Ole’s logic as you said it yourself that you think Lindelof should start because it’s risky to bench him and you also think Sancho needs to start.
Telling ya now. This will be the line up. Sancho will start cause of fan pressure to play him so pogba will be dropped back.
De Gea
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
Pogba Fred
Greenwood Bruno Sancho
MartialPlease don't start Matic again. It'll be a repeat of the Southampton match, possibly worse. But we don't really have too many options there do we? Maybe he plays Pogba with Fred.I'd like to see:
AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
Fred
Bruno VDB
Sancho Greenwood Pogbade Gea
Wan-Bissaka Varane Maguire Shaw
Van de Beek Fred
Sancho Bruno Pogba
GreenwoodOLE has to give VDB a go after last week's midfield fiasco. I think with Varane in the back line we will only need 1 DM.
I think the pressure is quite high to play Varane as well. He's the defender with the highest salary in the whole PL, and the man with the wallet wants to see some action. Ole is pressed to play him, but he must also make sure he is an instant success when he plays him.
Then we have the factor that a new player should not feel confident to just walk in to the starting XI, he should show something first. That part is difficult with a CB, as it's not a position where you can make many subs. Shame we don't have any cup matches now. (we have many players who Ole probably wants in his starting XI, but might not be 90 min players right now; Cavani, Martial, Varane, Sancho, maybe not wants to waste a sub on a CB)
And then the third factor, that it is psychologically wrong to bench the CB who has been performing best so far.Last edited:Got a feeling this match will top the sh*tstorm after the Ronaldo saga. Too much negativity around United at the moment.We'll smash them.

Seek and destroyIf it's a Matic start I'm not watching. Was thinking back to last year and how many games he started where we were dreadful.

6-1 Spurs
Home loss to Sheffield United.
Ole's already messed up this season in what should have been a 9 point set of fixtures before the international break, he's got no excuses now to not start Sancho and Varane.3-0 Wolves
Whole season is a shambles
Cavani refusing to play
Martial has no hair
Sancho is just Sean Wright Phillips 2.0
Varane will never be match fit
Ole not a big enough name

my line-up, 3-1 Utd, Ole’s line-up, 1-1All positivity going into the season disappears after 3 games if we drop points here.
