Kulusevski -Bentancur - Skipp
Johnson - Richarlison - Werner
Na, surely Romero or Dragusin over Emerson at CB! Then whoever starts, the other one can come off the bench around 60-70 mins.

Also PEH over Skipp for me.

Bench will be very light, who do we have who can change a game? Gil at a push? Anyone else?

If Lo Celso makes it (doubtful) he could played advanced midfield ahead of PEH and Bentancur.

Kulu, Richy and Werner.

BJ from the bench.

Not that I would do that, but one of the papers thinks we'll go that way.

I feel it's always a tough place to go no matter how shit United are.

Not always...

All day everyday but as PEH is likely off I think that’s why Skipp is getting more minutes/starts lately.

I hate to say it but I can't help but to feel underwhelmed whenever I see Skipp starting. I really hope it's Hojbjerg starting, but I agree in that reasoning with regard to why Skipp has seen more minutes recently. Hojbjerg has more presence IMO. Seems to have the strange odd hospital pass when he plays but I think the rest of his game gives us more on the pitch.

Agree mate but sounds like Gio is out for a good few weeks 🤷‍♂️ let’s hope not

It is a little bit of an odd fixture because in the last 20 years, Old Trafford is the away ground where we have collected the most wins and also the most losses of our top 6 rivals (not including City pre Abu Dhabi).

What is missing is the draws, and we haven't drawn there since Jenas scored that freekick in 2005.

I agree with this team. Even though he has been playing in a back three with Genoa and it could be a big change I would play Dragusin over Royal though.

I don't know if Romania play a back four instead of a back three so maybe he will be able to transition seamlessly.

For those more clued up on Werner, where do we think he will play? I know he has played both left and upfront. I saw the clip from training the other day where he was left putting crosses into Richie so I assume he will play there, plus his pace seems more valuable in wide positions. But could we see Richie put back on the left and Timo upfront?

With reports Lo Celso might be injured, I think for now we will see him on the left, until we get more creative CM players back.

Kulusevski will be needed in CM, so Johnston on the right, until son or Solomon is back it leaves Werner or richarleson on the left and the other up top. I think I would rather richarleson up top as I think he doesn't offer as much playing wide left.

Timo left, Richi center, until Sonny gets back.

I think until Son comes back it will be Kulu in midfield (Lo Celso injured) then Johnson, Richarlison, Werner with Werner on the left and Richy middle. All three could swap and rotate throughout if needed though.

United's midfield two will most likely be Mainoo and Eriksen.

We have to bully them and that's why I would start PEH.

Yeah with Gio out id start PEH ahead of Skipp for this one. Aside from that the team sort of pics itself really.
