Surprised to see De Gea and Rooney start. Otherwise it's what I expected pretty much.

Same here, Steve Bates and his team predictions flop again. He said De Gea would be rested with Rooney.

United subs: Lindegaard, Evans, Anderson, Lingard, Mata, Januzaj, Di Maria.

Angel

Anderson risen from the dead.

RVP rested hopefully

3 at the back again. Great, we get to see some more dull possession football with no urgency whatsoever

Strong side, not taking it lightly after the MK Dons debacle

Apparently LVG does not believe in resting goalies. Do not mind it.

Surprised no jones or januzaj.

Fancy falcao to bag a couple today.

Starting to think we won't be playing a back four again. We've got fit fullbacks again, no idea why we aren't resorting back to a four man defence.

Because we haven't got fit wingers, I think next season after the summer window you'll see us play 4-3-3 or 4-4-2

Ando to prove everyone wrong and play awesome in january only to get ACL injury in both knees on the last day of the month.

Looks that way. It ends up being dull because defenders just pass it along the backlinr and when we play it into midfield we have no urgency and so either play it back or pass it out to our one and only wideman who get no support

Adnan needs to be loaned out imo

What on earth does Januzaj have to do to get a starting place in the team. It's bl00dy Yeovil ffs

Dont really need a rest

I hate this formation with a passion. It just looks so easy to play against, there's a reason hardly anyone uses it!

Nice team, though I don't understand the inclusion of Fletcher. Better off sticking a youth product in there imo.

We don't really have a DM in the youth team

anderson on the bench

was mk dons the last time he featured ?

Hopefully the only reason Fletcher is starting is to put him in the shop window. If he cant impress against a league one side he might as well retire.

Yes

Fletcher's contract is up this summer, don't think there's gonna be queues of clubs wanting to buy him. He's even allowed to negotiate with another club.
