Matic is injured for quite a while, Jose said so yesterday.
Can't believe we've loaned TFM out when he's been on tour with us and is fit and ready to play, so he'll be sat on Fulhams bench probably tomorrow and we'll be playing a CB at right back
Martial is part of the group of players that had no pre-season Jose said yesterday.
Honest question how does Mata get in your side ahead of martial or Rashord in that wide right role..... are those 2 & Sanchez all best suited on the left and therefore the senior guy starts & the other 2 miss out (unless there are injuries ?) I like Mata but cant believe he's better than either of the other 2 even if they are better suited on the left ?

Yeah.
He said Martial only trained 2 or 3 days, then played 50 minutes in the game against the American sides. Then had 9 days off, with no training or no football. So he has not had a pre-season, and starts again, the same as the players that returned off holiday when he did basically. He said there is 'no story', but he is closer to those that haven't had pre-season than those that had. It does make sense tbh.
He also said he will be speaking to each of the returning players yesterday to see individually how ready they are and if they can take part (from the bench probably) so maybe he will be among those.
I doubt it though.
I think it will be;
DDG
Darmian Bailly Lindelöf Shaw
McTominay
Fred Perriera
Mata Rashford Sanchez
Only possibility is if Herrera injury wasn't as bad as expected.
Think we will see some of the likes of Lukaku, Pogba on the bench.
Wouldn't be shocked to see Pogba starting tbh, Jose said he'd been training very hard Sun, Mon, Tues and Weds.
Lindelof and Shaw aren't gonna bomb down the flanks
------------------
Unless instructed not to, they are both capable of getting down the flanks and overlapping. Lindelof actually has a decent cross on him, he played RB for Sweden in the early years.
I think sanchez will start through the middle as he has done pre season

Yeah, so they aren't bombing down the flanks.
Shaw should bring out more in Sanchez though, being left footed it should give him a decoy/ outlet.

Think I'm going to FF captain him, so I hope so
will be interesting to see what the crowd are like tonight.... not the best going and after a somewhat poor transfer window i wonder if they will be up for it.
Usually a good atmosphere first game of the season.
Shame it's a Friday night and it's raining. Hopefully it clear up.
Sanchez played left against Bayern with Rashford through the centre. Think it will be that
Atmosphere will be great to begin with, always is. First game of the season is ace.
Gonna play well and win comfortably
Sanchez played centrally pre-season but only when we had 3 at the back I thought.
Maybe he will go;
DDG
Smalling Bailly Lindelöf
Perriera
Darmian Fred McT Shaw
Mata Sanchez
Not sure how fit Rashford is tbh.
Guessing Martial won't feature? This is strictly for Football fantasy
Wouldn't have thought so Scholay, bench at best.
im looking forward to the season... as always.
no doubt some games will be dire, but you cant beat pl footy
