Intended on going a fair bit this season but not been since Henriquez made his debut, think I might try and go this one.

He's not the messiah... he's a very naughty boy
I can only assume that it'll be Lawrence as we won't risk a first team player prior to the Madrid game and Wilson is not fit in the U18's. The very unlikely prospect is that there will be a few minutes for Will Keane...

Is Thorpe injured ?

Would like to see Blackett get game time ahead of Veseli too tbh. He went on tour last time, but seems to have stalled since then almost in terms of game time at this level.

Sir Alex has come down to Mass Lane tonight to watch the #mufc U21s. (Maybe. Coz Amos & Powell both playing?)

Didn't Veseli set up 4 or 5 against Oldham? You kinda pick yourself with performances like that.

Ah fair enough, i guess. Though Januzaj was MOTM against Oldham.

Mcginty has started at left back ahead of him on occasions this season, which has been strange. Might be happening today too, with Veseli playing CB.

Good to see Blackett back in the fold, has he been injured because he seemed to have vanished.

Thorpe starts, probably in CM alongside Tunnicliffe.

Blackett has just returned from injury. Vermijl and Veseli were both excellent last game.

Going to be a tough test this. Some big talents in both sides.

Also see Petrucci's volley came off Michael Keane's head!

How good is Lawrence? He has the same agent I believe as Ravel Morrison and on twitter some months ago he was talking about him being the next Cantona. Typical agents hey.

It will be interesting to see if Lingard has maintained his wonderful form despite a very hectic last few months. He's yet to not be one of our top 3 players this season.

U-21 line up. Amos, Veseli, Fornasier, Brown, Vermijl, Thorpe, Tunnicliffe, Januzaj, Cole, Powell, Lingard

Subs; McGinty, Sutherland, Blackett, Lawrence, Ekangamene

That's the lineup according to ManUtdReserves on twitter.

So playing a false nine formation?

Very talented, possibly talented enough to make it. But so far his progress has been severely stalled by injuries.

He is a definite talent, imo. Neat player and technically very good with good movement.

Not the next Cantona though. :p

MUTV guys tweeted that lineup earlier and then it was changed. Hmmm....

Could do with Sir Alex being there ? Or could just be a miscommunication..

Blackett and Lawrence are stuck in the phase between U21's and U17's.

Hope Powell shines in this. Really should be comfortable at this level if he has hopes of joining up with the first team next year, regardless of his age.

ugh, conceded already - poor play really. We had a throw in deep in our own half, lost the ball and then the striker beat a man and in above Amos at his front post.

Akpom scores for Arsenal. Good goal.

He is one to watch.

Far too easy. Fornasier and Amos should both have done better.

Is that lad Apkom starting for Arsenal?

Supposed to be a big, big talent.
