Side looks a bit dodgy to me with plenty of potential to give away Pen's, but we'll see!

There is more concern now of giving a penalty away by an innocent arm than a proper foul in the box

It’s early in the season but we’ve not really got going in the league. Not necessarily a must win but more a must not lose.

It's a solid side that will put pressure on Man U's defense especially from the left. Would suspect that would keep them from being more adventurous. And if that is the case, it should be a good game if our defense stays organized.

I think I'd rather have gone with Winks over Sissoko. Otherwise, that is a good line up - hoping that we don't get too stretched down the left if Sonny doesn't put a shift in tracking back. COYS

slow as molasses, I'd say we chose Moussa for his pace to disrupt the transistion of their (3) midfield at pace.

We shall see, eh!

for the rocrd, love this line up versus theirs.......clearly their best 11...and we're short (2) starters - Bale and GLC. I also prefer our adaptability within the 11 and our bench

True. But this is United we are playing. The refs give them 1-3 pens a game and both Serge and Dier are prone to giving up a pen. So you can forgive people for being a bit nervous

Bergwijn looked absolutely shot at full time on thursday so not surprised he hasn't made it.

Never feel confident about playing Utd, too many years of Sir Alex I guess.

Regardless of today, I think the team have done amazingly well over a really busy start to the season so hopefully can top that off today.

Yeah, hate this fixture.

Both front threes can go at both defences. Be surprised to see a 0-0.

I'll admit, I was more confident going into this before I compared our starting lineups...

I expect us to sit back and counter, which as we saw against Chelsea midweek, is very risky.

I think its a reasonable line up.
I like reguillon and son starting.
Im guessing Aurier and Reguillon to attack the left and right with sissoko and PEH keeping a defensive discipline.
Ndombele and Lamela pressing and creativity (hopefully)
Kane will score..

I'd actually take a point at Old Trafford if you offered it to me after this week and even moreso a clean sheet.

First time we get to see Reggie and Son on the left... let’s hope they play to their potential. Could be explosive...

A lot of people are saying this, yet in the Transfer forum are saying we don’t need a CB or another midfielder ( not saying you are one of them, it’s just a general observation).

I don’t expect us to make anymore signings and am not complaining as it’s difficult to rebuild a squad in one window, but we are still short at CB and in CM.
