They're both decent but then again, Raphinha can go ape shit at times.

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.
Last question:
Raphinha vs Greenwood?
Raphinha vs Greenwood?
Having last min thoughts of bringing Bruno in for -4 binning Son.
Potentially captaining him too.
Rival surely captains him, which would counterbalance that, and Salah and Kane match up too.
It'd then be a question of how much of the then 37 point lead that his now Son differential, 4 extra players on BB, and 2-3 other differentials create over me.
Alternative is being "brave" / getting the rubber sheets out and hoping Bruno "Only" gets 1 assist, or blanks...as I write that it feels possible. Plus not playing (probably) in week 38, whereas Son does.
But you just know when we're all over them minute 1 it'll be a horrible watch
Someone hold me, and tell me it'll all be fine leaving it
(Or doing DCL to Antonio)

If you bring him in, that's fine but I still think Salah or Kane are the better captaincy choices.Having last min thoughts of bringing Bruno in for -4 binning Son.

Why not Harrison?
Tough decision. My rival has Watkins and I’m only 9 points aheadif keeping, i would play ahead of Watkins.
Hodgson just announced he's leaving so this is his last home game.
Cue a Zaha blank and yellow card
Jota, DCL > Bruno (C), 4.2 fodder
First home game with fans in 14 months. The next one is 3 months away. Players will be desperate to put on a show.

Captaincy is horrible this week. Going with Salah I think
Greenwood for me. Raphinha hasn't been up to much recently has he? And Greenwood is in form.
Thanks. that's done then.
Bro. It's getting solid rumours that DDG will play, especially as this could be his last home game. Play Mendy.
I probably should've mentioned that Greenwood might be rested in the last game for the EL Final. There's a good chance he won't start that though, so he might feature in both PL games.
I've left him out, this will be a tough watch, hoping we're 2-0 up at HT (no Bruno input) and Ole subs him until EL.
I've put Harrison in based on my colleagues (Leeds fan) assurances.
If fecking Martial starts in the final, I'm going to scream
Could be this Rashford right, Pogba left set up? Hopefully not though.
Greenwood isn't going to start this one is he.
Ole hinting that he might play the EL final team which I expect will be Pogba, Rashford, Bruno, Cavani with McFred behind them.
Although that was the front 6 against Liverpool and we were pants. Basically it's Greenwod v Cavani for that final spot isn't it.

that's got my arse-cheeks flapping. Might just get Raphinha......
Given how much of a thing they made of Cavani getting to play in front of the Old Trafford crowd when he was signing his contract, I'm thinking they'll play him in this home game with the fans back. That's my theory anyway.
Which, given I'm chasing, makes bringing in Cavani(c) tempting.
Likewise, any chance of early team news?
Pickford or Mendy? Not expecting either to get a cleany. Guess Mendy will have more saves to make
I wouldn't be too upset if he (Greenwood) doesn't start. He'll be dangerous even if he gets 20 and it means almost a guaranteed start at the weekend.
If you get Cavani, that's great but you'll have to use a transfer to drop him next GW as he won't start two games in a row leading up to a EL final bud.
Don't think we've got United team news early.
The earlier post from @CassiusClaymore plus the fact that Greenwood might also not get 90 against wolves plus the fact that Raphinha will play both games makes me think Raphinha is the safer bet now.
Don't take my word as anything other than thinking out loud. I kind of kicked myself when I pulled the trigger on Jota > Greenwood though as I'd completely forgotten about how soon the EL final was. Thought we might have a full week off.In hindsight I would probably have got Raphinha back or taken a punt on Willock or ASM.
Solskjaer said:
"I’m hoping to get Anthony [Martial] and Dan [James] back involved in this game, which is a very good boost for us, and maybe they can start against Wolverhampton."
Think all United assets will be rotated. Not sure Greenwood is worth it...

My team is in alright condition so I should be fine swapping him out again next week. Gotta find a potential big score others won't somewhere though and Cavani seems a good bet.
I'd definitely go with Raphinha btw.
Yes going Raphinha.
That way, next week I dont have to waste transfer on him and could do one of:
Bruno to Mane or Shaw to Robertson.
Done. DCL and Jota out for Raphinha and Antonio.
Next week try replace Bruno with Mane or Shaw with Robertson.

I would expect a Martial, James, Greenwood front 3 if he doesn't start tonight. He played the Leciester game with the reserves as well didn't he.
Harrison and Lingard masterclass coming in
That will probs happen but there'll be less chances for him without Bruno. He can still score but getting in Raphinha now allows me to NOT take a hit next week AND swap Bruno to Mane.
I'm thinking more of it being a dry run for the EL final than worrying about Fulham but we'll see. I mean you'd hope he can play Pogba in the midfield 2 and start Greenwood. Pretty please Ole...
If he doesn't, I hope he's not a sub either. 15 20 mins and a point would be cack.
He'll defintely be a sub and will almost certainly come on unfortunately.
That was a panicked last minute transfer if ever I seen one. Seen reports Jota injury not as bad as first seemed and that Greenwood was going to be on the bench
Maddison --> Mahrez
Maddison --> Mahrez
I started Greenwood it will backfire this time I guess. Watkins probably gets no more than one assist/goal though.
Submitted Antonio in for Iheanacho 1 min before deadline but don't think it loaded in time
Read too many people saying greenwood to be benched so I got Raphinha.
Forgot to deal with Captain.
Hopefully Salah will outscore Kane in a game that they lost 4-3.

I should have waited and done Watkins to Antonio and benched Greenwood I think.
I did feel confident he might start though before the fans.
Greenwood didn't start Thursday. I'd say he starts. Not sure if it'll be Cavani or Rashford on the bench.
