Tevez probably won't make his debut until the derby next weekend.

Expect both teams to start out a bit conservatively, with Reading being a team that's not afraid to play open football against us. Doubt they'll want to be exposed the way Fulham were in last season's opener.

[Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10]

hmmm ok. Ferdinand for Tevez

[alincoln]

I think VR has it right.

Fergie did indicate that Nani, Hargreaves and Anderson would all be in the squad but not necessarily as starters.

Also, Saha and Ole were back in full training this week so they may have a chance to get a spot on the bench

[Bronaldo]

nani will score.

I'd love to see that, too. Just looked at the M.E.N. website and they have Nani, Anderson and Hargreaves all pencilled in as being on the bench. :(

If that's the case, maybe Evra on the wing with Silvestre being brought in at LB?

Maybe. I'm not too bothered with Silvestre at LB but I'd rather see Nani get the start. He looks like he's the most ready of the newboys and I'd rather Evra play LB than LM.

Besides, what does M.E.N. know anyway?

Dunno, hope they're wrong.

Is Scholes match fit after his surgery?


Buzzing.

[johno]

I'm hoping that United field a strong attacking team. Either what VR has or with Tevez in place of Nani.

like so...

----------------------------Tevez
Rooney---------------------------------------------Ronaldo
------------------Giggs-----Scholes----Carrick
Evra---------Nemanja Vidic-----Rio Ferdinand-----Wes Brown
-----------------------------VDS

[israbeckham]

I think we will see same same starting line-up as last year the only changes would be that Brown would be RB for Gazz and Nani will be on the wing, which will move Ronni to more of a strikers position

I feel the love.

[yikchi]

VR is the new DS.

[Vermont Red]

VR is the new DS.

Only in my most favorite and unrealistic dreams.
