Chich to miss first few games

Berbatov deserves a chance more than anyone, how he did not play in the CL final was a mystery to me

De Gea

Rafael Vidic Ferdinand Evra

Nani Carrick Cleverley Young

Rooney Welbeck

Subs

Anders
Fabio
Jones
Anderson
Owen
Berbatov
Macheda
Valencia

Anyone else think that Lindegaard might start off the season in goal? With De Gea's age it might be a bit much to throw him in at the deep end so early on, and especially as we're likely to have to endure an aerial assault at West Brom, something which he won't be used to. Lindegaard also looked very capable on the tour.

i think lindegaard and welbeck will start.

----------------------------
Not having Smalling at least on the bench would be a huge kick in the teeth for him after performing so well last season

If we went with that team, I put only two strikers on the bench and drop Macheda for Smalling

To be fair I think both Valencia and Nani should start, and Welbeck too

Anyone think De Gea looked a little dodgy vs Barca - didnt have much to do and his handling was top notch but his kicking and distribution quite poor - seemed to kick it long very often which is rare for him as he usually recycles it - whether it was a tactic against barcas high pressing game i dont know?

is valencia back to fitness?
