Interesting that Rooney has been left at home but I guess I can understand that. We have lots of different options in attack and it gives someone else a chance to really impress.
Nice line up, the front four look potent and the addition of Smalling to the back line also gives an air of solidity. With the exception of Darmian and Rojo, I would be more than happy to see this as our line up for the league. Obviously with Ibra in as well!
Disjointed performance in the first half, which is kind of expected considering the change in formation and the number of players making their first start. Expect better though.
