Dalot back in training but not match ready
Matic, Valencia & Sanchez all training and have a chance of playing but Mourinho says to early to make decision.
Rojo & Romero only players who are definitely out with injury.

I expect Sanchez will be risked for the game and will come in for Martial and probably Herrera to come in for Periera can't see risks being taken with Matic & Valencia as neither did any pre season.

De Gea

Young Bailly Lindelof Shaw

Fred Herrera Pogba

Mata Lukaku Sanchez

I think he needs to put faith in the 2 CB's who gaffed vs Brighton it happens again then change it but needs to try and build a partnership.

 

[IDFD]

I think we’ll match Tottenham and go 3-5-2 here

Did we play that way in the semi final?

 

[IDFD]

Nah. 4-3-3 Valencia Jones Smalling Young Herrera Pogba Matic Lingard Sanchez Lukaku

Thought it was 433 it worked then so don’t see why we’d change it Pogba bossed Dembele that day after he was shown up in the league game in Feb.

Spurs away record to the big 6 is awful under Poch, Utd need a win and something to build on to get back on track after Brighton.

 

[IDFD]

What we thinking tonight then? Be interesting to see the CB partnership tonight. And I think Herrera has to start

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Team: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Jones, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Fred, Pogba, Lingard, Lukuka.

Come on!

 

[IDFD]

6 changes amazing

 

[IDFD]

This team is gonna be so narrow

 

[Mr C]

I like this team on paper, I’d have lindelof playing though

 

[IDFD]

Lukaku has highlighted everything I’ve said about him today

 

[Red Warrior]

League 2 striker would be scoring that. Your £75m forward should be scoring those with his eyes closed. Unbelievable!

 

[IDFD]

I’ve give Smalling criticism but he was fantastic there

 

[Red Warrior]

Also I can't remember Valencia spending so much time in the opposition box for God knows how long

 

[Red Warrior]

I’ve give Smalling criticism but he was fantastic there

Quality tackle!

 

[IDFD]

Should have had a pen there for me

 

[Red Warrior]

Seems like Herrera is covering Valencia at rb

 

[IDFD]

We should be 4-2 up how the fecks this 0-0

 

[IDFD]

Seems like Herrera is covering Valencia at rb

Herrera started RB

 

[Mr C]

Radio said Herrera is part of a back 3

 

[Mr C]

Lukaku, we need a more versatile and deadly finisher I’d be looking at the psg ffp

 

[Red Warrior]

Herrera started RB

Sky sports app had us playing a 4-3-2-1 but have changed it now. Thought it was odd Valencia so high and Herrera so far back

 

[Mr C]

Joke, what can you do with this awful defence. But, lukaku should have scored, these players just are not good enough

 

[RichH2016]

Jose is a joke. Knee jerk reaction to completely drop Bailly from the squad. Can't wait for this idiot to go.

 

[Mr C]

Bailly is awful

 

[Mr C]

Sounds like Pogba doing the simple things badly again

 

[Red Warrior]

??? This is the best performance in I don't know how long. At least we have attacking intent. We're not sitting back allowing it on us. If we lose I'm ok with what we've done.

 

[IDFD]

People on here ‘don’t care about results just want a good attacking performance with us pressing high’ united put in a good attacking performance and two defensive mistakes and they moan. So much for their previous statements

 

[IDFD]

Anyone blaming Mourinho and not Woodward for signing a CB needs their head testing

 

[Mr C]

Listening on the radio, sounds like another Smalling mistake. Board totally to blame for this season
