Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur | Europa League final build-up thread (May 21st)

[rio's upper lip]

Huge occasion. Could salvage an otherwise horrific season. Two weeks to get a proper team ready for this.

Surely Diallo and possibly Shaw has to start after those subs today.

Onana
Dalot - Yoro - De Ligt - Maguire - Shaw
Ugarte - Casemiro
Diallo - Fernandes
Højlund

 

[tomaldinho1]

Going to be goal fest, hopefully we can over power them

 

[Ayoba]

I'm scared. I'm so scared

 

[fallengt]

Lads,

 

[Dec9003]

Does Mount have to start now?

 

[JG3001]

For the love of Christ, don’t start 6 defensive players in the final. The team that finished this game should arguably be starting.

 

[Berbasbullet]

I’m going to start learning mandarin, because if we lose I’m out of here!

 

[WeePat]

Come on United. Don't be the team that let Spurs win their first trophy in nearly 20 years.

 

[Its all gone Shane Long]

Scared to say it but I think on the night Spurs will want it more…I hope I am sooo sooo wrong about that.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

recent form against Spurs hasn't been good, but I was saying the same with City before the FA Cup final....

 

[Offside]

Due a win against this lot.

 

[Rajma]

Come on United. Don't be the team that let Spurs win their first trophy in nearly 20 years.

We will never live this down if we lose, massive pressure simply because of this

 

[stubie]

Congratulations Spurs on ending the trophy hoodoo

 

[chris123]

So what is our best XI right now?

I just don't love that Casemiro/Ugarte midfield so can Mainoo work his way in there or has Mount done enough to drop Bruno deeper? Does Amad play as a 10 or as a wing back? I kind of liked the way he combined with Dorgu there.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

This is massive.

Not confident, considering the fact that Spurs haven’t lost to us in 5 games and have beaten us thrice this season.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Surely Lindelof cannot start.

 

[Rajma]

I’m bricking it already, a pressure game

 

[southlegend]

I'm scared. I'm so scared

“I always win something in my second season.”

It’s been haunting me for days already.

 

[pcaming]

I'd honestly be surprised if we beat them, we haven't looked at it all season against them. Their midfield will dominate us and set the tone.

Still we hope, that's why we love the sport.

 

[Bastian]

-----------------------Onana
--------Mazra-----de Ligt----Yoro
Amad-----------------------------------Dorgu/Shaw
-------------Ugarte-------Casemiro
------------Bruno----------Mount/Garnacho
--------------------Garnacho/Hojlund

Confident.

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Please play an attacking team and not 7 defensive players! We are a different team when we do that.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Come on United. Don't be the team that let Spurs win their first trophy in nearly 20 years.

If they do win their first trophy in 17 years, I’ll have nightmares about it for the rest of my life.

 

[Wayne's World]

Feel sick already thinking about this..........

 

[Fr. Todd Unctious]

Let the p*ss boiling commence!!!

 

[P-Ro]

Congratulations Spurs on ending the trophy hoodoo

I know things have been bad recently but you did win the FA Cup only 11 months ago. Hardly a hoodoo for United.

 

[The White Pele]

Bruno in midfield, Amad and Mount as the 10s?

 

[prateik]

Kidnap the club cook and prepare some Lasagna..

 

[Insanity]

Lads, it’s Spurs.

 

[2 man midfield]

Amad must start

 

[BarcaSpurs]

Vicario
Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie
Bissouma, Bentancur
Johnson, Kulu, Son
Solanke

Will probably be our lineup. Richarlison, Tel or Odobert are all options out wide if Son isn't back in time but reports are that he should be.

 

[DJ_21]

Anyone but spurs and I’m confident we win it. There’s something about them I hate. Our form against them is bad this season

 

[SuperiorXI]

Why in feck is this on a WEDNESDAY at 6PM!!!

 

[Ole'sgunnarwin]

Our 2nd all English European final. 21st May too. Let's home we don't let this slip.

 

[bosnian_red]

Onana
Mazraoui Maguire Yoro
Dorgu Casemiro Bruno Shaw
Amad Mount
Hojlund​

Hard to see beyond the balance of this to be honest. De Ligt with the injury, don't think he'll get himself in form ahead of Maguire. Bit hard on Garnacho but it's him or Amad as we need one off the bench, so has to be Amad I think. Mounts energy will make up for leaving Ugarte out, but think we need Bruno in deeper just for that added control and creativity.

 

[2 man midfield]

Why in feck is this on a WEDNESDAY at 6PM!!!

Kick off at 8.

 

[DJ_21]

Lads, it’s Spurs.

The team that’s beat us 3 times this season… very nervous for the game.

 

[Fr. Todd Unctious]

Played Spurs 3 times this season and lost 3 times. It would be classic Spurs for them to lose the one game where a trophy was on offer

 

[DJ_21]

Why in feck is this on a WEDNESDAY at 6PM!!!

It’s always on a Wednesday. Kick of will be 8. 2 hour build up I bet

 

[2 man midfield]

Our 2nd all English European final. 21st May too. Let's home we don't let this slip.

Good omen. I don’t think I want pens though, probably no rain to help us this time!

 

[SuperiorXI]

Kick off at 8.

Oh
