Team should be...

GK: De Gea

RB: Valencia
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Jones
LB: Evra

RM: Nani
CM: Carrick
CM: Anderson
LM: Young

CF: Welbeck
CF: Hernandez

Subs: Lindegaard, Fabio, Fletcher, Giggs, Park, Berbatov, Owen

Obviously hope Rooney is back, also Evans as the Rio/Jones partnership isn't working. No chance we'll keep a clean sheet so I'll go 3-1 Welbeck, Hernandez scoring.

We need to get back to Roolbeck or Roonandez upfront and get Jones out of the CB and play him at RB where he can go on his runs and have slightly lesser defensive responsibility.

Fabio joined United's injury list - however, the Scot is hopeful of having more options for the weekend's match against Norwich in the Barclays Premier League.

He added: "I don't think (Chris) Smalling will be back but hopeful of one or two others will be coming back."

Asked by Sky Sports if Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez were two of them, the Scot said: "Hopefully."

I like Norwich but, bejesus, I hope we hammer them.

I like the look of Jones - Rio - Evans - Evra. I don't expect to see Rooney as SAF will want to keep him out of the England game, even if he's approaching fitness again.

I want Anderson and Carrick in midfield, Nani and Young on the wings. Hopefully Rooney is fit, I'd pair him with Welbeck

This. But against Norwich, I would be more tempted to have Owen than Berbatov.

I watched Norwich's game against Chelsea and I thought they played really well at times. This won't be a walk over, particularly with our dodgy defense.

For the first time since the season before last (fecking kids) I'll be at Old Trafford this weekend. Looking forward to seeing some well-kicked arses make Norwich pay for the points we threw away last night.
I shall be there too (thanks bsc)!

Really looking forward to it.

Will there be a Cafe meet up in the Tollgate (?) for prematch drinks?
