This has been orchestrated by a bunch of opportunistic, bitter, clueless dumb-dumbs.
No one, no one ! should give this any time.

Could United be punished for fielding a weakened team?

That performance from Chelsea tonight was morally wrong
I think Trevor Sinclair should be fined half his annual income from punditry for stupidity.
Yes. We should have also been fined when we played Fabio, Rafael, Gibson and OShea in midfield against Arsenal and won
How would they decide what a "weakened" team is to judge on when we're picking from our 25 man squad? Check on social media and decide based on who fans think are a bit shit? Go by average FIFA rating? Go by "feel"?
The squad is there for the manager to rotate whoever he want out of them, especially for situations such as this. There were still 7 full internationals in the starting line up and we brought on our 3 top scorers in the second half, it's not as if we rolled out the U18's

That game affected the top 4 race as much as our game as well. Funny world.
The words did come out of the mouth of Trevor Sinclair though, can't remember the last time I heard an opinion from him that wasn't heavily biased.
Trevor Sinclair is a very passionate Manchester City fan who is looking for an opportunity to have a dig at Manchester United. That is literally the only story here.
We played a team with about 9 or 10 internationals and it was a very tight game. A game that we lost by the exact same score that City lost a week ago with a weakened team. His point about City being better equipped to play a weakened team is ridiculous as they lost when playing it and had far less of a reason to play a weaker squad than we did.

I mentioned that game specifically myself saying i didn't agree with it. If you're going to try join in, do try to keep up.But having thought about it more, Super Ole was 100% right and the lads all deserved a rest. Come on United!
It’s incredible low intelligent to not see the how City did the same thing.
I am amazed our fans are even considering this nonsense question. feck the PL, the FA and Liverpool. If they didn't lose so many games against cannon fodder, they wouldn't have cared.
What?
4 games in 8 days, should FA be punished as well for arranging such nonsense?
Surely it wasn't too difficult to move Liverpool's visit to West Brom to last night and have United v Liverpool this coming weekend
Joke of a thread and some clown posters in here. And if anyone makes such ridiculous claims whether on the TV or here, they deserve mocking for being such utter nutjobs
Should be fined

The words from Klopp were very telling. He said something like the PL made it very clear United shouldn’t benefit from the rearranged fixture.
ergo, they wanted to punish United. The PL have created this mess.
this is a £bn competition - yet obviously decisions are made they are just petty and vindictive.

I think it was morally wrong to be this stupid. Only 73 neurons between the brains on talksport.
I didn’t watch the game last night. Interesting to note Chelsea made SEVEN changes?
They made SEVEN changes because they have a game in THREE days time.
so that’s Chelsea and City who made big numbers of changes, yet neither have a fixture list as intensive at United.
At least the Chelsea supporters in here will shut the feck up as a result.

Chelsea fans must have been fuming! The integrity of the league at stake here.
We have a squad of 25 people and we can use any of them. This punishment line is a non starter. It’s just some stupid media line used by some fans of other clubs blaming us for their failures this season.
You're so right my friend.
And they keep forgetting that City also made 9 changes last Saturday, so should thay have points deducted or fined ?!
The concept of a “weakened” team being stated as some kind of objective fact is very, very insulting to the players. They are all professional footballers who go out there and do their best every single game. To call them a weakened team as if the manager went out onto the street and picked out eleven random people, is insulting to every one of these players.
Just so we’re clear, they’re calling a team that included our first choice goalkeeper, one of the most productive left backs in the Portuguese league, a player considered by many to be our second best CB, a DM who was pivotal in winning the league with Chelsea, a CM alongside him who was part of that Ajax team that captured everyone’s imagination, an AM who has more goals and assists to his name than most other players in the league, the highest scoring teenager in Manchester United history, a weakened team?

I would be. Risking top 4 for the FA Cup is crazy.
3 days rest should have been enough to play their first team in both matches.
Yep not to mention the disgusting moral implications. @Bullhitter hasn’t been seen since he’s so angry.
Probably off to find a new club to support, it's the only reasonable way forward after that disgraceful decision by the club.
He features regularly on Norwegian TV as a PL pundit, lining up with Erik Thorstvedt, Brede Hangeland or a small handful of other regulars to give commentary during the break and before and after games (has spent enough time in Norway that he understands Norwegian, but sticks to english when he's speaking). He doesn't generally come across as particularly biased against United. He does generally come across as not particularly bright though.
