Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.

United are putting out a 'Manchester United XI', which is likely to be made up mostly of bench and reserve players.
Johnstone
Vermijl---Keane---Wootton---Blackett
Powell---Tunnicliffe---Petrucci
Lingard---Chicharito---Brady

Pretty pointless to guess the line-up obviously, if the plan is mix in a few first teamers then I still think the base of the team will be the younger players.
I'd throw Cleverley in if he's back - keep him ticking-over after the Olympics.
Aren't Hernandez, Lingard, Wootton and Keane all travelling with the squad from Sweden to Germany?
More likely to see Cleverley and Giggs in there, if anyone.

I remember when we played against them years ago. Rossi scored a really good goal. 
Also Rafael made his first appearance and wowed us all in a friendly against them I remember.

Rossi was gone by then, t'was Gibbo.
So you're saying anyone who does well in this game will end up crocked or in Spain?
EDIT: Even better.

feck you.
I was there for Hargreaves debut against these and a man named Dong Fangzhou scored and didn't look half bad.
Is this on MUTV?
yep
I can't recall the last time I was as excited about a youngster as when I saw Rafael's debut.
I'm glad you said that Glitter
Squad for this?
Wait, what?
Still no teams? Really starting in 45?
MUFC XI to face P'bro:Johnstone, Vermijl, Blackett, Thorpe, Foransier, Tunnicliffe, Cole, Powell, Macheda, Petrucci, Lingard
If somebody was to PM me a steam, I'd be very grateful.
Subs: Sutherland, Veseli, King, Gladstony, Agnaldo, James
I'd like a link too, please.
Good turnout from our fans.
Nicky Ajose on the Peterborough bench.
Have we seen anything of Gladstony before? I can't remember actually seeing him play.
No Bebe?
He's been with fc twente.
Don't worry he is going to Germany.No Bebe?
Absolutely love Cole as a player, really hope he makes it here. Will be interesting to see what Fergie decides to do in terms of the development of some of these players this year.
Another player who seems to be a bit forgotten on here is Tom Thorpe, unlucky last season in terms of injuries but still a very promising player. He's definitely one of the players I'd like to see go out on loan.

Nice move, shame Vermijl's ball was a foot too far ahead of the runner into the box.
there is something classy about Powell...it's easy to forget that he is one of the youngest players even on the reserve-team
plus one on the comment around Cole.
as for Thorpe, there was talk of him going on loan to the Championship. not sure where that stands at present. England youth captain
Very lucky we didn't concede there!
Question for you guys - who do you think will be the better player - Lingard or Cole ?
Very impressive back heel by Larnell Cole, had to be inch perfect onto Vermijl's foot to get by the defender half a yard behind him. The defender did well to recover, though.
I like this Blackett lad, also Petrucci seems like a good passer.
Cole
I think that powell's done well but I think our other midfield youngsters have shown quality. Tunnicliffe's got stuck in and coles had moments of quality. Kiko..just don't convince me. Hope we see king second half as he has far better mobility
Blackett and Cole make wings look very dynamic. Would be so freakin awesome if in few years they could start handling game for the first squad.
Powell is mint, indeed. Overall ability and natural movement in midfield, for an 18 years old, straight from lower league is promising to say the least.

Barry Fry. What a character.
That guy is a riot.
