I don't know about you but I am a man, mate.
Solskjær press conference vs Leicester
- Thread starter Samid

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Not sure, but he didn't join the French squad, so presumably it was the Southampton game.
Didn't realize the injury situation was so bad. Worrying ahead of a tough game tomorrow (aren't they all for us recently?). I really did think Shaw and Martial would be back so that's a disappointment. I guess there's still a chance for Wan Bissaka but it sounds unlikely. It will be interesting to see what happens with the full backs. Obviously Young will play. But what will happen at the other full back position? Rojo seems most likely at left back. Maybe Tuanzebe could be right back if they want to keep Young on the left.
Direct is a word not used enough, it fits you very well. If there is something you need to get off your chest we are here for you.
They will either show some guts or it could be as you say a nightmare. You don't always know what you will get with this lot, they might surprise us. If not then there will be a lot of finger pointing again.Stuff of nightmares. That's what Ed has to show for spending 400+ Millions during his tenure. Incredible actually.
Fantastic, do ikea have a sale on tomorrow?
Axel should be used. If not Ole is going back on his word. Problem we have is that game on Thursday.
Possibly a 5-3-2?

They're not going to do any worse than the fringe players in the squad.
Would we be better with those 2 ? ...
Oh come on relax mate, just made fun of the state of this place recently.
That is not his job, it is the job of the scouting team. Also ultimately it is Woodward who has hired them (some of them have been at the club for years too and not been fired)
For instance what was the rationale of keeping Marcel Bout who LVG brought to the club and making him global head of scouting when under LVG our signings were absolute trash?
All the posters with common sense saw this coming sooner or later, even if Woodward apparently didn't. Our squad is thin in quality, let's hope we manage to have a good game, despite the injuries.
It would be very strange if Fred doesn't start tomorrow.
Did any of the press actually ask him if Fred is available or has he faded from memory? If we aren't using him in an injury crisis he might as well get rid.
He sure found, but he sure did not get, Dybala, Eriksen, etc..
it's worse than i thought. We're going to line up like this.
The game could open the eyes of those who are constantly criticizing Pogba, even when he's done alright.
We won't get to see Longstaff tomorrow on one of our scouting missions as he has picked up an injury.

Experience over youth?
Solskjaer has a few experienced players who he can turn to.
Not much choice for United, but sounds like Solskjaer will opt for experience over youth in the starting line up.
Ironically think facing an attacking side like Leicester might favour them on the break, and I really wouldn't be surprised if #mufc avoid defeat tomorrow

He eats Dalmatians for breakfast and shits kulen. He has a right to be aggravated though, the club run like a circus. Let's hope the lads have a good game and we come out with a win.Dude you need something positive in your life, ever thought of getting a dog?
Yeah I see a lot of people including youngsters in their line-ups and I think they will be disappointed if that's what their expecting. As you say the game on the Thursday seems like it's nailed on to be used to give youngsters a chance, so I'd be expecting all of the changes this weekend to be senior players. Also the evidence so far, despite what Ole might say, shows he's reluctant to put the young players in during Prem Games. Even those who have gotten a chance have been given very little time on the pitch.
Tomorrow is now a big game in his tenure for me as he has various injuries and a massive decision, he can go for broke, play a midfield of Fred/McT with James Gomes Greenwood behind Rashford, which I would respect and get behind.
Or
He bottles playing the kids, giving them a chance and we start with a side looking like Matic/McT, with James Pereira Mata behind Rashford.
If he goes for the second option, in my opinion he has bottled it a bit and if we get beat, some questions need to be asked as to why these under performing past it players keep being given chances ahead of our exciting youth.

We're not getting 3 points 2mo lads. State of that squad with all injuries we could be facing.
I would try 3 at the back to hopefully have some solidity with the given injuries and gain some confidence in defending and clean sheet after the last three matches. For the rest of the team, players who do not play during international break are to be picked.

Let's hope we have a Rashford esque situation where a youngster is forced to play and really announces themself.
Almost certain he'll go with the second option. Not saying it because I don't believe in Ole but base it on his choice of substitutions in prior games.
He said we risk of falling behind due to the injuries.... no shit Sherlock, thats why you have a transfer window to build not just a starting XI but also a squad. He is hopeless
Was a compliment dude. Dont feel all paranoid.
With Pogba, Shaw and Martial out we are in trouble. Just shows how thin the squad is.
He'll play Lingard if possible. Can't be fielding Mata and Matic in the same lineup with a slow backline to boot.
Absolutely
He wouldn't be surprised if we didn't loose? Is that what he's saying? Fecking hell talk about referring to the club as one that's favourites for relegation or something
No, it´s not. Please share from your deep insight.
Unfortunately bud me to, I would be stunned if he goes for the first line up, hope I am wrong but have a bad feeling we will be sat watching Matic Mata Pereira getting smoked quite comfortably by Leicester
That's what the reporter said not Ole.He wouldn't be surprised if we didn't loose? Is that what he's saying? Fecking hell talk about referring to the club as one that's favourites for relegation or something
Suicidal. If you want to play Mata put Fred in midfield, not Matic.
Its not what he said.He wouldn't be surprised if we didn't loose? Is that what he's saying? Fecking hell talk about referring to the club as one that's favourites for relegation or something
