I’m not sure he starts. Mount won’t be dropped, been one of our best players and most improved. And Mbuemo will be needed for pace
Me neither, in fact I’d wager he won’t. Could still be a day for him though off the bench.
 
I don't think he will start Vs Liverpool (I might be wrong), but he could be very important as a sub later on in the game. That speed when players are tired is a problem.
 
Had him and Amad to come on late, off the bench.

We’ll probably bring Maguire and Ugarte on, though
 
He has been out of form, but I think he'll be that player than comes into form at the right time for us, maybe after Christmas.
 
He would thrive in the space left by Liverpool.

Start him if we are a serious club wanting to win the game.

Start Mount if we want to keep it tight and focus on a draw.

You answered your own post there.

Cunha and Amad will be on the bench for impact subs … when we’re 2-0 down
 
I think just start your best players.

What do you think Liverpool are going to do?

Starting are best players going off of form anyway, Cunha doesn't start then. Mount, Mbeumo and Sesko should be leading the line going off of form.
 
Just needs that first goal then I'm sure the floodgates will open.
 
Liverpool 1:2 Man Utd
Had a good 7/10 game but Zirkzee is better as a False 9.
 
His best performance for us. Excellent. Hope he kicks on now.
 
Absolutely love him. Hes so good at keeping the ball and good enough to take it to feet. His attitude is incredible and has a nasty side to him aswell.

Excellent
 
Cunha is good at keeping the ball under pressure. He is strong. But am I the only one who finds him selfish? He is very slow at releasing the ball. There was a counterattack where he should have squared the ball to Mbeumo but he decided to shoot. There are many other instances where his first choice is always to shoot or hold on to the ball too long
 
Maguire man of the match for the winning goal and Mbeumo next for his early goal

But after that maybe Cunha for plenty of good bits of play helping us break up the pitch and hold onto the ball with skill and strength
 
Struggled to get him involved as a striker but when he dropped back he proved to be invaluable. That ability to pick up the ball and run with it is great for relieving pressure.
 
Didn't offer much in the first half but he was so good in the second half. Just brings a level of calm and composite that we don't normally have.
 
Was exceptional at holding onto the ball when we were desperate for some composure. Great energy too
 
That move when he won the ball in our half out wide and battled two players, on the ground, kept the ball. He's a baller, just an absolutely outstanding talent like Pogba, but a fighter with a winner's mentality.

He's outrageous. When (if) this side becomes more balanced and competent, he'll be unstoppable.
 
Stats aren't showing it of course, but loving his hold up play and ball carrying at the end of these big games. Did the same thing at the end of the Chelsea game. Really hope the goals come soon.
 
Best player along with Amad today, I thought.
 
So comfortable on the ball. Need to see him hurting teams more
 
The difference he brings compared to Rashford was crystal clear today. Worked his bollocks off
