What a time to be a United fan!
Anyway, we need to make the most of the Champions League whilst we have it.
What are people's teams for tonight? I'd like to see Hannibal back in for his energy and work rate as I feel he enables other players around him to play better. I also think Garnacho deserves a chance, even though he needs to prove himself more as a starter.
This isn't necessarily the team I'd play, but with our injuries and lack of form, especially in wide attacking areas, could a 352 be an idea to utilise players in their more natural positions?
--------------------------Bayindir
-------------Varane-----Maguire-------Evans---------
Dalot----Casemiro----Amrabat-----Hannibal----Garnacho
---------------------Bruno------Hoijland
I've included Bayindir purely based off the rumours that he is starting. There's also still a chance Antony will be back on the irght of a 433/4231.

I'm all for trying it tonight. What have we got to lose? The current Tactics aren't working anyway.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I agree, what we're doing at the moment isn't working and right now results are more important than anything else.

Bruno is problem too. Let's not pretend hes somehow not needing to be on the bench.
---------------------------
He, like many, just have been nowhere near good enough. One thing he does bring though is decisive moments through assists and goals. I put him up off of Hoijland as it takes away from him losing possession from a deeper position in midfield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, this is at the heart of a lot of problems with us. No one is untouchable, no on should feel untouchable. It was one of the keys at the heart of Fergie's success and has been a flaw for many of our managers. It affects every player when we clearly keep a player viciously out of form on the team still. All you need is your past history.

You’re not wrong, but he has scored a match winner for us in the last few games. Also there just really isn’t that much depth when it comes to match winners

Your two solutions seem to be:
Drop our player of the year and top scorer from last year and drop our captain and player who creates most of the chances.
Can't you see the problem with this plan? I get people are frustrated but I'm telling you now that dropping Bruno n Rashford for a long run isn't going to make us a better team.
The reaction to beating a Crystal Palace reserves side has been monumentally stupid. Not only did they change their team they didn't even try to beat us or press us. We'd have won comfortably that night regardless.
If we field that same team tonight that we did in the cup we will get beat. Galatasaray have some real quality in their ranks. Far more than Palace reserves had.

Galatasaray are unbeaten so far this season as well. 6 wins 1 draw 0 losses in the league, 1 draw in the champs league.

I think Zaha, Tete and Icardi will cause us issues tonight. Especially with Dalot and Amrabat at FB.

Completely agree, it's going to be a tough game.

My team would be:
Onana
Lindelof
Varane
Maguire
Dalot
Casemiro
Amrabat
Mount
Bruno
Garnacho
Hojlund
Rashford can be handy as a difference maker off the bench. I'd be pressing them really aggressively to being with to try and whip up our own storm more than anything else.
And, for the love of god, let's hope we make and take an early chance!

I'd start Martial over Hojlund in this one

I was thinking Martial LW is worth seeing again, one of our few attackers capable of committing defenders.

Cant see him dropping Rashford.

It’s this type of ‘very good with a joker in the pack’ lineup I’d like to bet on.
But I don’t think betting on the starting line up is something the bookies accept. Leak-fearing soft s that they are.
