That bench is so bloody depressing. So defensive, so lacking creative options. We have enough to win, but its a bit bleak.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Not much attack on that bench if it's going wrong

With Mata AWOL and Cavani and Rashford injured, this is the time where Amad and Shola will have to be our go to attacking subs. Actually quite exciting.

 

[RashyForPM]

Perfect team (Luke needs a rest) but I swear the last time I remember us winning with the M and M midfield was Huddersfield at home in 2018. They need to play well together today.

 

[thegregster]

Looking at the lineups I'm going for an easy 3-0 win for United.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Luke Shaw is our striker option on the bench.

 

[Hoof the ball]

So we've got two goalkeepers on the bench? Ok. That's productive isn't it?
Plus, our only two attacking options on the bench are two kids who won't be brought on in a tight squeeze.....so......

If we need a goal the most we can expect is a like-for-like change somewhere in midfield?

 

[Cutch]

Is it fair to say Milans team looks shite?

 

[horsechoker]

Decent enough team considering who's available

Haven't you seen Fred's right foot recently? It's getting closer.

Think we can expect a goal from it by 2023.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Sadly true. This would have been one of the great Champions League games. Still, much prefer Milan over one of the smaller clubs in this competition.

Yeah me too, but we need to make this year is the last we play in this cup. The first time we played in the Europa it seemed really strange to me, but now its seems kind of normal and that's not good.

 

[Mike Smalling]

I know 3 players on the Milan team. One is a Man Utd player, one plays for our national team and the third is their GK.

 

[diarm]

Do youth players still need to be registered for Europa League? If not, would we not have been better going with someone like Hanibal on the bench instead of 2 keepers?

 

[Shane88]

Is it fair to say Milans team looks shite?

Famous last words!

 

[Berbasbullet]

What an opportunity for Amad! Surely gets minutes in the second half?

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Tomori is the lad who was playing in defence at Chelsea last year.

Do youth players still need to be registered for Europa League? If not, would we not have been better going with someone like Hanibal on the bench instead of 2 keepers?

I think it's more to do with Covid bubbles.

We can have 9 subs on the bench, we have 8. If the extra keeper is available why not put him on there instead of 7 people.

Who else could have been on the bench who isn't injured?

With corona we can't just throw in random u23 kids without them changing isolation bubble time in advance.

 

[SamVimes]

That bench is so bloody depressing. So defensive, so lacking creative options. We have enough to win, but its a bit bleak.

It is all who are available.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Is it fair to say Milans team looks shite?

They said the same about us to be fair.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Kessie is a beast.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Expected team. Shaw and Amad will be the only subs capable of shaving the game in our favour of we need them

 

[Gandalf]

Last I heard Hanibal was injured, he was meant to come up with Shoretire but got hurt and I am not sure he is fit again yet.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Do we really need two goalkeepers on the bench?

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

I’ve always had a soft spot for Milan since they took a fall with us and both clubs are struggling thru the wilderness to get back to glory. Those Milan teams of the 90s and Ancelotti years were brilliant.

Same, from the days of Van basten, through to weah, shevckenko and bierhoff I have had a soft spot for them too, I love when we get to play them

I know, it's just.........you know.......meh.

 

[wrepdrep]

Is it fair to say Milans team looks shite?

As a Milan fan I can agree that many of those players belong in a midtable side.
But they are reserves who only get to start because Bennacer, Calhanoglu, Theo Hernandez, Rebic, Zlatan and Mandzukic are all injured.

 

[Van Piorsing]

Huge game for James. Perfect kind of chance to take in order to become more important part of the team for good.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Dalot is allowed to play against us?

 

[diarm]

I think it's more to do with Covid bubbles.

That makes a lot more sense.

 

[always_hoping]

Four changes from the Manchester Derby.

Out - Shaw, Lindelof, Fred, Rashford

In - Telles, Bailly, Matic, Greenwood.

Injured or unavailable - De Beek, Mata, Pogba, Cavani, Rashford, De Beek

 

[Brightonian]

With Mata AWOL and Cavani and Rashford injured, this is the time where Amad and Shola will have to be our go to attacking subs. Actually quite exciting.

Same! We have lots of good attacking players on the pitch, and the other senior ones are unfortunately unavailable. Which means we get to try out some of the exciting youngsters, hopefully. The exciting youngsters everyone's been moaning about us not playing enough. You can't win with some people.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

So are we basically playing against Milan's reserves tonight?

 

[Mickson]

Do youth players still need to be registered for Europa League? If not, would we not have been better going with someone like Hanibal on the bench instead of 2 keepers?

He doesn't have the balls for it. He rather has a second goalie than a youth player.

 

[Random Task]

Almost 7 pm for most of Europe. That person was a genius.

Oh, I see, it's all about timezone equality.

That make sense I guess.

Hadn’t that person heard of brexit?! Sickening we are still controlled by the EU.

So what you're actually saying is the guy's that run the CL are all like 'Brexit means Brexit' because they ensure their games get UK primetime slots?

 

[limerickcitykid]

Do youth players still need to be registered for Europa League? If not, would we not have been better going with someone like Hanibal on the bench instead of 2 keepers?

Yes you need to be registered which Hannibal isn’t eligible for. He’s also injured anyway.

 

[el3mel]

11/11 for me. The lineup I fully predicted.

I think this tie will be a lot easier than what people are expecting. 2-0 for us.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Van de Geek still got the muscle injury?

 

[diarm]

He doesn't have the balls for it. He rather has a second goalie than a youth player.

Take a few seconds and think about what you're saying. You're calling a man a coward for putting a goalkeeper he's never going to use on the bench, rather than a midfielder he could just as easily never use.

 

[limerickcitykid]

He doesn't have the balls for it. He rather has a second goalie than a youth player.

We haven’t named a full bench so it isn’t an either or.

Which youth player should we be disregarding COVID regulations to sit on the bench?

 

[Poborsky's hair]

Salesmakers what a name!

BTW I guess I missed it but we allowed Dalot to play against us or are they taking the option to buy him already?
