From Mark Ogden's webchat
Wow, Quite a strong line up that for a reserves match. Carrick demoted to reserves?
United Reserves vs City-
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
It's City's 'Elite Squad'. We haven't a hope.
No Bebe?
I think I've heard of them. Not a big fan of grime though tbh.
I presume this is on MUTV. Not the biggest fan of mixing so many first teamers in the reserves, rarely works in the way we'd like. Once upon a time it served a purpose these days its barely worth while.
With the likes of Carrick, Anderson and Neville all missing pre-season, for various different reasons, you can see the logic in giving them a game.
Yeah Fergie keeps talking about getting players minutes and how long certain players have played any time he's asked about team selection so this is probably the best way to push them on into first team reckoning and giving them match sharpness
Amos
Neville
Brown
Smalling
Fabio
Obertan
Carrick
Gibson
Anderson
Macheda
Bebe
That COULD be the team tonight if the earier posts are to be believed.

Thats true and given that this fixture is usually well contested it should be a good test but in general there are so many games at reserve level that a training match would benefit the players as much if not more.
The age old you "cant beat a competitive game" theory barely applies to the reserves any more. Much prefer the academy games these days
That does look like the likely midfield, but perhaps Gibson will go right-wing, Obertan left, Anderson central?
What time does this kickoff on MUTV? 7 PM? I am asking someone to cap it for us since its more or less strong teams on both ends.. I think even City might use a few squad players to build fitness etc..
Urm if thats the exact lineup then we will effectively be playing a 451/433 with Bebe and Obertan on the wings.. I am quite certain that is not the lineup though.. But in fairness to him all those players need minutes so you never know really..
City's line-up: City: Gonzales, Logan, Cunningham, Kay, Wabara, Mee, Elabdellaoui, Ibrahim, Tchuimeni-Nimely, Chantler, Helan.
Subs: Benali, Karius, Veseli, Bunn, Roman.

Did Nimely change his name?
Sad for Carrick ...
Why? He needs the games. He's barely played for months.
Hopefully he'll pick up where he left off against Chelsea.
could anyone PM me a stream please?
Ditto please, checked most the regular lists and couldn't find anything.
ditto :-)
Who?
Ekrim in for Keane. Otherwise, thats correct.

Header from Cleverly, off the bar. Should have scored.
Having a lot of posession, as you'd probably expect.
