11/11 for me on this one, I think playing a back 3 given Pereira is going to have to play in a 2 in midfield makes sense IMO.
Time will tell, but I assume the plan is to let Martial, Rashford & James free license to attack with minimal defensive duties. That should let them come at us and then hit them on the counter, which is after all where those 3 are most effective.Why are we setting up so defensive against Sheffield United?
Angel Gomes is in recovery from an Injury. Tahit Chong is the player who is considering his options.I think he's not signing his contract extension.
Why is that weird?Andreas is partnering Fred in Central midfield by the looks of it. Are you suggesting Gomes should be operating that deep, or even centrally when we have no McTominay? Weird.

Maguire is due his first goal. He’s come close once or twice already with headersControversial opinion: We will score from a set piece header.
Cheers!Angel Gomes is in recovery from an Injury. Tahit Chong is the player who is considering his options.
Who is Rashfrord? I've never heard of that player before. I think it is so brave for Ole to put faith in youth player and give them their first debut.
No. Never.Please enough with the funny Rashfrord joke
Do you know that Sheffield United plays a different style? They tend to overload the wings... with their centre-halves? Thus the need for us to have the wing-backs. But that also leaves big gaps. Mata isnt suited for this sort of game. They dont park the bus.5 in defence or not, our Achilles heel is set pieces/crosses in box. Sheff Utd will exploit this to the fullest and I don't expect their defence to leave much space behind. Mata, given all his shortcomings, is still our best techincally sound option to unlock their defence and I would have gone with him over Periera.
He played with the England U21s over the international break. Did well too.Angel Gomes is in recovery from an Injury. Tahit Chong is the player who is considering his options.
First Premier league game at that too!Jesus. They just mentioned another stat. The only time Sheffield has beaten United at home was the very first PL game in 1992.
Their main CB john egan is out, so 37yo Jagielka starts. Everyone else is fitAre Sheffield Utd full strength ? I mean other than Henderson being unable to play.

Me like this.Maguire to score his first goal for United today against his former club.
That 37 year old has been an example for world class defenders like Rio and Vidic! Dont underestimate him!Their main CB john egan is out, so 37yo Jagielka starts. Everyone else is fit
