Can you ask Juan Matas father to sort out a reservation at their new restraunt for me for when I'm over in Jan?

Team:

Man Utd v Zorya: Romero, Young, Bailly, Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Pogba, Mata, Rooney, Mkhitaryan, Ibrahimovic

That is a very strong team

Well lads anyone know a website or somewhere to buy old United jerseys? Looking for the 99 jersey but the megastore doesn't have it anymore. Be much appreciated thanks

Delighted to see Bailey back we have missed him a little bit.

TheDoctor

Mata was always going to play after missing last weekend.

Surprised Ibra is playing. Thought it might be a chance to rest him.

thelad95

In all seriousness, I still wouldn't be surprised if this gets called off or abandoned.

TheDoctor

Call it a 0-0 and cancel it.

Jesus lads whats the thinking behind that team? All ye need is a draw here and he's playing the strongest possible team? On a very dodgey pitch could easily pick up an injury or two. Bailly just back from injury as well and then the team has to fly home and play Spurs on the weekend?

We've not been great at seeing out games of late though have we? Playing for a draw would be a sure fire way for us to make a complete balls of this.

I wouldn't say it's the strongest team either.

Romero, Young, Bailly, Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Pogba, Mata, Rooney, Mkhitaryan, Ibrahimovic

Romero in for DeGea - Sensible as a keeper could hurt themselves diving.
Young in for Valencia
Herrera in for Carrick
Bailly in for Jones

That's 4 of our current best 11 (Jones given the injury situation, Bailly prob wouldn't have played Spurs anyway) rested and there's a few others that have been starting of late that are rested. I'm happier we're looking to go for it early, kill the game and put on a few subs.

jayo26

Nice video coming from the game of Jose taking time out to sign pics for tlfans and then stood talking to the ball boys with a few of them standing around him.

Quandary

Jose is taking the europa league very seriously because he realises that finishing in the top 4 this season will not be easy considering how far back we are and it's nearly Christmas.

Can't take any chances. I'd say if Utd happened to get into a comfortable position we'd see the key players subbed off asap.

Trigger

Mkhitaryan comes across as a very very likeable lad

RobbingBandit

Very fluid midfield should see lots of the ball, get a quick goal or three and we are home free. Hope Bailly has a great game, he's a boss.

Very surprised to see Bailly starting, especially considering the conditions.

A big gamble.

Agree, though maybe Jose fancied Bailly's survival chances on this pitch more than Jones'.

Match was in england and id guess around 0. Pitch wasnt thawed out at all

jayo26

Class player out of nowhere love him

madcabbage

Wonderful footballer.

He reminds me of Vidic so much.

A hard as nails, old school centre half.

jimmytwotimes 2013

Does the club have an official blanket partner? I don't see any logo on those beauts on the bench. Ed better get on it.

Cantona's Collars

Rooney must be saving himself for the Spurs game,he's done the sum total of fukc all this evening.

adox

Would have taken either Rooney or Herrera off. Both dialing it in a bit which is disappointing. Mata must be disappointed.

It's hard for a street footballer to play on ice

Mata pick up a knock? Take it back if so.


Rooney off now anyway. Poor application from him the whole game. Not good enough.

Poor game alright.. Zlatan had a bad one too..

Rooney had been decent for the last few though so I'll give him a pass.. the Conditions are terrible.

TFM is coming on now.Surprised by that.

Zlatan must have non sub clause in his contract:eek:

Jesus the pace by Fosu Mensah!

Shut up Dave you're drunk

Ibra 2-0

Zlatan.

Trigger

Have to admit, Romero really is a decent keeper to have as a back up. Never looks rusty when he comes in

Jaysus how did Bailly get away with that:pac:

There's a multi million euro deal there for Mattress Mick to get on.

Cantona's Collars

Win achieved and no drama on the ice. I'm still not confident in us getting a win when we are just one up,relieved to see the second goal go in from Zlatan.

yabadabado

Got the win ,a clean sheet and into the next round. Job done with no drama.
Good to have Bailly back and Mickey Ryan surely is a certain starter now impressive in every game.

Quandary

Fosu Mesah is still only 18. Hard to believe considering his size. So quick over the grass too. He could be a powerhouse in midfield in a couple of years for us.

Cantona's Collars

Former united lad Luke Steele in goal tonight for Panathinikos. Forgot where he ended up.

Better to see us win our way through to the knockout stages of the Europa IMO, rather than get dumped in there after an abysmal run in the CL group stages.

That was the case on this date last year in Wolfsburg, 3-2. Juan Mata got subbed off in that game too, unfortunately we remember all too well who came on for him.

An in house replacement for Carrick perhaps? Instead of the club splashing out.

Some French press saying Jose has talked to Payet about a January move.

Coming from 10 sport.. not very reliable.. be good to have a player that can actually cross the ball though
