Who starts? Two man midfield or Carrick to play on Tuesday and against Liverpool? Or Fellaini to play in a three man midfield alongside Pogba and Herrea, with the latter playing as the deep midfielder?

With Carrick playing today, i'd be surprised to see him play again Tuesday and against Liverpool. Deserves a rest. Think we should give Schweinsteiger a start, if Carrick does break down or one of the other 2, we need more than just Fellaini to replace, we need a different option. We need to give him game time. Thought Fellaini did well today, with 5 games until the next game, you'd suspect Herrera and Pogba will come back in for this one.

Hope Shaw back in for this one, was due to play today but fell ill. Not having the best of luck with us.

Jose confirmed after today's game that Zlatan, Pogba, Valencia and Herrera will be part of much-changed team for Tues.

Team: De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Darmian, Herrera, Pogba, Mata, Rooney, Mkhitaryan, Rashford.

Subs: Romero, Blind, Fosu-Mensah, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Martial.

Jeez that was close for Hull.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Started brightly, didn't take chances, faded, then finished the half on the front foot.

Get in. Good header by Mkhitaryan.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Surprised Rooney has come off. He might start against Liverpool depending on Ibrahimovic's availability.

 

[Berba_God]

Well done Fellaini

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Get in Fellaini.
