Realistic Saturday line up

With the folks on international duty not training with the squad till Friday and unknowns about Fred’s availability this is what I think is a realistic line up

DDG
AWB Varane Maguire Telles
Matic
Bruno Pogba (both have an extra days rest playing today)
Greenwood Cavani Sancho

...................DDG

AWB...Maguire Varane Shaw

..............Donny....Pogba

Greenwood...Bruno......Martial

....................Ronaldo
----------------------------------------------------------------------


If we are going to try Donny in a midfield two, the last thing we should do is pair him with someone else we’re not sure can play in a two. If Donny plays where you’ve got him this season, I’d guess it will be alongside Fred, Matic or McTominay, at least to start with.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mctominay is injured mad it’s touch and go if Fred is available because of the missing the Brazil game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I don’t mean for this game. I doubt we’ll be seeing Donny in a two this weekend regardless of his partner. I’m saying if we do see it this season, I don’t think it’s a good idea to play him alongside Pogba in a two. I reckon he’ll probably feature on Saturday though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I was only predicting that team for the Newcastle game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And I was only saying it wouldn’t be a good idea to start Donny alongside Pogba in a two…

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Needs must. Or would you go with Donny and Matic?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Over Donny and Pogba, yes. That’s way too open.

Let’s see if anyone else is ready though.

Tuesday vs Young Boys

Henderson/Heaton
AWB Lindelof Maguire Dalot/Telles
Matic VDB
Greenwood Bruno Martial
Cavani
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We will not field a team anywhere near as weak as that.

From Twitter:

Pogba starting again for France tonight means he's played 90mins 4x in just 10 days.

Solskjaer should consider resting him this weekend and starting him in the UCL midweek. #mufc

----------------------------------------------------------------------

He should be up to match fitness then, which he did need.

Not after he messed up the last group stage.

I agree with you. Last season it wasn't too far off our first 11 though

He’ll have to be fit if he starts in a two with Donny like RDD predicts

It’s Pogba or Matic. I know who I’d rather have on the ball.

No doubt about it. Who’d you rather have shielding defence though?

Do we really need to be too concerned with shielding our defence against the mighty Newcastle of a Steve Bruce?

Maguire, Varane, Donny, Pogba, Bruno is a pretty solid, hard hard working spine.

I'd agree with this and also add that I think Newcastle are massively up against it just because of the atmosphere, the crowd will be mental and the players will be absolutely up for it.

I'd be shocked if we saw anything similar to the last couple of games. Could end up with egg in my gave but I can see us battering them. Exactly the type of game I think we could play a 3 with Donny, Pogba and Bruno.
