Manchester United Away Pre Match Thread

[TrentFox]

So here we are then! Another season that we are all fortunate enough to still be here to witness. Good luck to us all! May we all find moments of pleasure, joy, excitement and happiness during the next crazy 9 months. Enjoy them when they come, because we all know they will be punctuated with moments of doubt, despair, frustration and anger. There will be debates on here about tactics, players, managers etc. And we’ll all disagree with each other. That’s footie. That’s why we love it. It is what it is. Enjoy the ride everyone. COYF !!

I'm going to make one prediction for this.

 

It's going to be impossible to name the starting line up.

Schmeichel in nets - I'm confident of that.

[Micky]

Just spoke to Claude and he tells me this is what he will start with:

 

Schmeichel

 

Amartey

Maguire

Morgan

Chilwell

 

Ndidi

Iborra

 

Pereira

Maddison

Albrighton

 

Iheanacho

 

Subs:

Ghezzal

Evans

Fuchs

Vardy

Diabate

Silva

Ward

According to United fans 

 

De Gea

Darmian Bailly Lindelof Shaw
Pereira
Herrera Fred
Mata Sanchez Rashford

Bench: Grant, Young, Pogba, Martial, Lukaku, Lingard

 

Herreras out apparently 

[Wymsey]

I know the season hasn't started but can see the prospect of Man United falling to their lowest place position since Moyes was there.

I’d be very happy with that.

My prediction for today's match: -

 

Claude Puel decides to start Harry Maguire who puts in a man of the match performance including scoring the only goal of the match with a bullet header from a Maddison corner. Leicester win 1-0 and Mourhinho resigns as manager complaining of lack of support in the transfer window.

Don't know if been mentioned but this game on Sky 1 tonight also from 7pm

[dayday]

Man U fans very confident on red cafe, so hopefully we can surprise them

[dynamark]

I'm not getting Whmys reasoning .

Will they stop play if it rains ?

Not expecting too much result-wise, but I'd love us to see put in a decent performance, putting Manchester United on the brink of a defeat.

 

We've got a lot of newbies in this squad, and I expect Ricardo Pereira and Ghezzal having a few issues linking up still on that right-hand side.

Of course, it depends on whether Puel chooses them over other players, but Diabaté on the right hasn't really worked and Albrighton and Gray should compete for the starting spot on the left.

[Guest Mee-9]

Cheeky 1-0 win, Maguire scores a header 89th minute. Kisses the badge infront of the TV cameras then signs a new deal tomorrow.

I am going to be looking at the team sheet nervously then later...! I am sure if Vardy started and scored a hat trick, you would be far too happy to hold it against me though! 

Keep him in. He'll come off the bench definitely if he doesn't start.

 

Hat trick from the bench?

 

Be brave

Sanchez always ****s us over

Enter... Fuchs! Honestly, I love that man so much for that moment.

You're right. We should go into the season with a mixture of optimum and relief.

.I'm personally relieved to still be alive and cautiously optimistic about still being alive at the end of the season.

 

It's a good way to look at it.

 

Thanks 

[whoareyaaa]

Honestly could go either way, I'm excited to see what Puel can do this time round with a full pre season and his own group of players.

 

We sure do have some quality players in all departments so if we can gel as a team we should be solid in defence and lethal up front with pedigree in midfield.. all the makings of a team that can take 3 points anywhere.

 

Should be a cracker of a season.

 

 

[Fosse93]

Nerves have started...

[Tielemans63]

Ah that feeling of being nervous to the pit of my stomach. How I've missed that!

 

 

[Saxondale]

1-1. They'll score after 15 mins, we'll equalise on 43 mins (Iheanacho). Boring second half.

Never sure when people are being serious or lighthearted on here. Either way, I hope you are in rude health ?

2-2. Nacho brace.
