We couldn’t have asked for a more difficult game to start. But get a good result and we will be confident for the rest of the season. I just hope the rest has done us some good and given Jose a chance to get his style and tactics across. Because I couldn’t stand watching us play such turgid football before the break. I’m hopeful rather than confident.

Let me take a stab at the injury update: Kane, Son and Lo Celso have picked up a knock and are doubtful. Bergwijn has as well and will be a decision for tomorrow.

From Jose: Lo Celso likely out. Tanganga is out. Jan is training but hasnt signed on for the rest of the season. Kane, Son and Sissoko will start tomorrow.

It’s pretty good news on Lo Celso generally. He was injured, he’s just back in training and a bit behind the rest of the squad. All in all, pretty good.

Sissoko and Winks in midfield then it must be. Very much doubt he would play Sissoko and Ndombele

So we would've also had no GLC all this time if the season hadn't stopped. Not being funny but if coronavirus hadn't happened we could've been looking at one of the worst runs in our history.

Probably more of a choice between Ndombele and Lamela for the last spot in the side behind Kane.

With a Sissoko and Winks midfield likely confirmed, so to is a liquor store run for a good bourbon as theres no way i can survive another game with that midfield without hard liquor

Mourinho would quite possibly have been sacked by now. A bottom-half finish would've been difficult for Levy to tolerate.

He could play Lamela higher up. In fact given the massive lack of creativity in the side he should do, and play Kane Son and Lamela. But he's picked Lucas for pretty much every game since he joined and I don't see him stopping now.

Aurier better pray he doesn’t get injured or we’ll have no RB for the rest of the season

I’d play Sissoko there if he does.

Let's not forget, all Prem teams are well behind match fitness. It's almost a level playing field. Working in the gym is not the same as full on outdoor training – of which there hasn't been a lot for any of the players. So United won't be 'at it', the first few games will likely be cautious.

Wouldn't be shocked if midfield/attack was:

Dier - Winks
Sissoko - Lamela - Son
Kane​

I want the Banana Splits tune every time someone dives.

Love the idea but it may take too long. How about the sound of a 3 meter springboard?

With regards to the Banana Splits, if you can't get the rights to it, just play Bob Marley's Buffalo Solder which "borrows" the main riff from the them song (go ahead, youtube it).
