I like that midfield and forward line. If Fellaini starts I will cry.

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.

A win today will definately give LvG some valuble time. Then he can manage a draw against Chelsea and get some signings in in January, and save his career.
A loss would result in increased pressure ahead of the game against a rejuvenated Chelsea team.
So a draw it is today then?
They played a really good game against City and yeah they're a very good team to watch. Shaqiri, Bojan and Affelay are very good, and Arnautovic is a dickhead but is talented when he can be arsed.
Play our best available team, we are UTD we do not need to adjust to nullify the opposition, the opposition should adjust for us.
With Hughes too, they can still mix it as well as play good stuff with the ball on the ground. That feckhead Charlie Adam for instance. fecking hatchet man.
They were fantastic in that game. Shaqiri was on fire.
I'm looking forward to this game, not what you'd call confident though.
That's all well and good, but we happen to be abysmal at the moment. Nothing wrong with respecting your opposition's strengths in a situation like this. Fergie did it all the time.
Except for our captain and worst player
He's an eyesore in that team. Though I shouldnt criticize him too much or I'll jinx it and he'll score a screamer.
tactics. what are they again ?
No he didnt. He won every game 5-0 playing 442 wide remember.
Yep, they have really transformed themselves and Bojan and Affelay (two former Barca players) at Stoke is surrealistic.
Losing to a physical long ball playing Stoke team is one thing, being outplayed by Stoke is even more humiliating.luckhurst saying it's the exact same squad that went to norwich.Hopefully its 433 with Herrera. Means Martial on the wing and Rooney upfront unfortunately.He'll probably play Fellaini to deal with Stoke's set pieces.Twitter rumours that our team is
De gea
Young Jones Smalling Blind
Carrick Fellaini
Mata Herrera Memphis
Martial
Why not? Looks OKTweet

Carrick playing CM by himself then...Hmmmm. Interesting, aside from Fellaini/Schneiderlin that looks pretty good to me.
It worked well Carrick/Fellaini in last game. Michael was left on his own half the time.
Fellaini in midfield is always a recipe for disaster, shame that cos with Schneidi instead of him that was a good team.He's dropped Rooney? A Christmas miracle!
I'm hoping it's Herrera next to Carrick with Fellaini further up. Would prefer Morgan for Fellaini though.Starting lineupsTweet
— Twitter API (@user) dateRumors were rightGreat, so that's us royally fecked on the counter with the immobile Carrick as our DM.Please, God, let that be the team with no Rooney.No Rooney!!!
ShieeetRooney dropped
This starting 11 is structurally same as the ones from last season when we beat Liverpool and cityFFS why Fellaini and not Schneiderlin
Exactly my thoughts.
LvG is probably thinking Fellaini could help out defensively and is a bigger goal threat.Merry Christmas everyone!Thanks for that. Now let's hope Rooney leaves soon.Think this team could work. Similar to the one that played so well in that spell last season.- Status
No Morgan again.Man of the Match
