I expect 433/4231 w/ starts for Williams, Dalot, Bailly, McTominay, Ighalo, Greenwood, Mata & Jesse.

----------------------------------Ighalo
Jesse-------------------------Mata----------------------Mase
------------------------???--------------------Scott
Brandon----------------------------------------------------Diogo
---------------------Axel---------------------Bailly
---------------------------------Romero

I'd be happy for Garner to get the start in midfield. I'd like the night off completely for Martial and Bruno, not even in the squad.

Bench spots for Chong, Gomes, AP

Ashur · Mar 11, 2020

The traveling squad for the game: David De Gea, Sergio Romero, Nate Bishop, Brandon Williams, Victor Lindelöf, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Axel Tuanzebe, Eric Bailly, Angel Gomes, AP, Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, Fred, Juan Mata, Mason Greenwood, Daniel James, Tahith Chong, Odion Ighalo

Nate Bishop is a name I'm not familiar with. What's his story?

Rooney20 · Mar 11, 2020

I feel like this competition will be canceled, I wouldn’t put that much energy into it and would play a lot of the kids.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is close to returning from injury, but Anthony Martial is out of Thursday's Europa League match against LASK and a doubt for Sunday's game at Tottenham.

If I knew my FPL had this level of influence on things I'd have transferred in Giroud or Jiminez instead. So far I've had to sub out Rashford, Bergwijn and Tom Hanks.

👏👏👏 @ManUtd to pay £350 towards the travel and accommodation costs of each supporter who bought an away ticket for tonight’s UEFA Europa League match against LASK.

I don't know that that is true. I believe they met and were deciding. No trustworthy source has gone with that story as of yet.

Sofabloke · Mar 12, 2020

Not clear - it may be that because was behind closed doors anyway and they are already there then may go ahead.

Ashur · Mar 12, 2020

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Mar 12, 2020

Maguire and Fred.

not happy about that. what's going on with Tuanzebe? he's been back a while now but not made a match squad.

odd

Watching the pre-game and it feels like a scrimmage. You can hear a little kid yelling because shes the only one in the stadium talking about normal levels. So weird.

SyedZada · Mar 12, 2020

Why are the games still on? What are they waiting for? Something like Italy.

MizzouMUFC · Mar 12, 2020

Williams having a bit of a shocker so far. Can seem to control the ball or make a pass.

Still, we look comfortable.

This is probably gonna be our last game for a while so no need to rest anyone.

Ashur · Mar 12, 2020

Mata could have done better there.

Ashur · Mar 12, 2020

Ighalo with a decent half chance: nice turn to lose his man but the shot was too tame to trouble the keeper.
United slowly but surely upping the tempo.

Ashur · Mar 12, 2020

James now with a good attempt but the keeper had it covered.

Very much feels like a situation where the floodgates could open up if we can just get that first goal.

Ashur · Mar 12, 2020

Ighalo, 0-1! Bruno with a nice run feeds Ighalo who hits a nice left footed shot that has the keeper beat.
