Happy birthday, pal! Enjoy the game.
Manchester United vs AC Milan Sat 3rd August, 17:36 UK time
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
To those bummed about James maybe being ahead of Greenwood in the peckingorder: Im with you!
James potentially starting makes us so incredibly dangerous thogh due to the sheer speed of James. His final ball is not good but he can create and intercept, something that will create dangerous situations.

We will win 2:0
So Pogba is hurt. Seems a few news sources are saying he still should have travelled and it was surprising he did not travel. In fact they say he agitating for a move.
So the simple question I have, is there anything here or are the press stirring the pot?
Thanks in advance!

65k expected for a friendly is amazing.
35 pound tickets are being sold for now on the day- got mine, come on United!

It’s Utd. 65k is what I’d expect
What's up with the time? 17:36?
The second one. The press being the press and all that.
I can't see Pogba leaving at this stage unless a ridiculous bid comes in for him. We don't need to sell.
Two of the most historic clubs who are seemingly starting to get things in order. I naturally have always "hated" UTD as my best friend is a big fan, and we've always had the friendly banter... but always respected them.
This current milan team out there is basically our B team, which really saddens me.
We're currently missing all of Theo Hernandez, Bennacer, Kessie, Bonaventura, Caldara... and Leao and Paqueta may not see a minute as they arrived/returned literally 2-3 days ago. Duarte is in Brazil getting his visa. Shame.
That's almost our entire starting lineup. Not an excuse for today, it's a friendly... Don't need excuses. Just sad that we couldn't see more of our actual starters out there.
Correa is seemingly days away too. We'll see.
Good luck today and hoping both are teams get back to the top.
ps: Giampaolo is the best coach we've had since allegri. Can't wait to see him form this team to his tactical brilliance.

fingers crossed we've agreed to ditch him...
Looking forward to this game, hopefully Gomes gets a good few mins.

Our midfield still needs work. We need a DM.
You trying to slide in the DMs?
Because when you find a stream online, the first one usually freezes after a minute or two, so they are giving us a few extra minutes to find something stable!
There is zero chance we allow Pogba to leave this late. It’s clickbait nonsense.
Come season's start. I'm expecting Milan to look like the following:
-----------Donnarumma----------
Calabria-Musacchio-Romagnoli-Theo
----Kessie--Bennacer--Paqueta---
---------------Suso----------------
----------Piatek -- Correa----------
Caldara and Bonaventura still need to recover from their injures. Hakan could sneak into the LCM role, moving Paqueta up to the Trequartista role. Krunic is a sleeper out there, and Leao can come in to replace Piatek in needed, or play as a SS, moving Correa back a bit.
For the first time in ages, Milan has a starting lineup AND depth. Not to our proper standards, but miles ahead of any season prior. Very excited

If Pogba isn't playing I hope we get at least a 30 minutes look at Garner.
Really want to see Gomes start this one.
Especially for a friendly I wouldn't really see a point in him going if he’s not fit for it.
Let's show then some respect:
Chong - Lukaku - Lingard
Pereira - Fred
Matic
Young - Rojo - Jones - Dalot
Romero

Matic
Young - Rojo - Jones - Dalot

Any good rivers?
I could also do with an estuary
That’s a would sell 11 if I’ve ever seen one.
In one of the Cardiff spoons as we speak. You won’t be able to tell the difference between Manchester and Cardiff at the moment. The United presence here is gigantic. You can’t hear yourself think over the United anthems.
Spanish media is the basis
It's rubbish. In fact he's gone very quiet in recent weeks. Either he's decided to stay or (as I've heard) we've agreed he will do another year then leave with our blessing if he wants to.
He's played a lot of minutes so far so he doesn't need this game, and no point risking it if he is hurt.
Gatekeeper I assume?
This is why we need Fernandez even if we keep Pogba. If for some reason we don't start Pogba (Injury or resting) or midfield lacks creativity.
Can't see that it'd make any difference to the midfield - seems like that would just allow us to leave out Mata, so:
--------------DeGea------------
AWB-Tuanzebe--Lindelof-Shaw
---------McT-----Fred-----------
James----Fernandes---Rashford
-------------Martial--------------
I walked past Prince of wales about an hour ago and that was reasonably busy. O'Neills and Slug and Lettuce seemed the most rammed.
Raining now though, which is annoying.
Prince of Wales is where I’m at. Chants and all. Rammed here.
He can be played as an 8.

Starting: Rojo & Matic <3
So Marcos Rojo, Matic and Mata all start, it doesn't look good.
The only positive is absence of Lingard in the starting XI

Yawn lineup. Hopefully the style comes through.
Right. I'm in Cape Verde on holiday and going to ask reception if they can muck about with tv channels.
Anyone know if screened (other than MUTV)?
