It's a dead rubber game today to see out the tie. He's just safety policy. Nothing to be too wound up for game like today.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Got a bad feeling Jose will set out on his crusade to prove the world wrong about his pet Fellaini again and leave this man rotting in the stands. He needs to make some good decisions in the coming weeks if the injuries are bad or the season will be curtains.
He was our best midfielder last year when he was fit.
I don't see what Jose sees in Fellaini and I don't think I ever will.
It's sad that Bastian can't get a game and maroane plays on the regular.
Add Moyes and LVG to that list. His continued run baffles me. He was completely non-existent yesterday. It was as if we were playing only 2 players in midfield.
I think he was very good today and Mourinho's ought to use him more often considering our schedule.
How can he be below Fellaini in the pecking order? What does Fellaini really offer that Bastian doesn't?
The only thing I can think of is running and defensive headers. And despite the running he's poor in actually tracking runners and making interceptions because he has very little awareness of what's going on around him. A nothing player.
Give me Schweinsteiger anytime, especially against crap teams. He's a comfortable on the ball, can spot a pass and he's a leader with world class pointing.

100% agree - he offers vastly more to the team than Fellaini does. Mobility is everything in midfield and Fellaini is like a bus trying to change direction.
I think it comes down to commitment to the club more than anything, or Mourinho's view on it at least.
Fellaini comes across as very committed to being here, and it has been touched upon by Mourinho in the past.
Can't say much about Schweinsteiger's attitude because we have barely seen him I guess, but I'm sure Mourinho would know more.
With the that being said, I'd still take a Schweinsteiger who isn't arsed over Fellaini and his elbows.

The total exclusion of Bastian is about the only gripe I have with Jose's tenure so far. He would have been a more adept stand-in than Fellaini in more than a few matches this season.
Somehow I can't help to shake the feeling that the whole Bastian debacle was some sort of statement from Jose. A player who previously enjoyed huge freedom under LvG and also favouritism with questionable attitude (going to tennis matches, not being match fit, going to Germany etc), firmly put in his place by Jose.
No slight on Jose if he did, since the reports about Bastian wasn't favourable at all and I think he took advantage of being the teachers pet under LvG, but if he got match fit and played for a move for us (he will move in the summer) then he still would have been useful.

Any legitimacy to the emerging reports he's joined the Chicago Fire? (Sure if this is in the wrong thread)
Quotes from the manager of Chicago would seem to be certain.
Well that's random. One less player available for the crazy run in! (I guess it doesn't matter as Jose was never going to play him in the PL)
This one's been in talks for a while, so it wouldn't be surprising. 150-200k off the wage bill (depending on what you believe) for a player who doesn't contribute on the field sounds good to me.
Schweinsteiger
Manager:
Oh man! 
All those times Fellaini played ahead of him.. I'm feeling like Liam Neeson in the ending of Schindler's List.
