433 would be my preferred formation for this squad. Also I certainly wouldn’t have Rojo in the defence as a starter.

I think 4312 is best suited to us and the wingbacks pushing up seen as our wing play is pretty bad anyway.

No Rashford or Martial in the starting line up. Miki starts. :eek:

wanderer100

Big game for Micki . Needs to perform today

jayo26

That looks more like the shape we had at start if season hopefully.

GSPfan

Shaw starting games is hopefully the start of a long run in the team. I have a feeling he is going to score soon too as he gets within shooting distance quite a bit and has a go.

Hoping he doesn’t get relegated to the bench when Valencia is back. I like Young on the right.

adox

Ibra not on the bench.

ianob7

Attacking wise anyways, United look much better with Shaw and young in the full back spots

Must be on the move.

Two games in three days so not surprising there's some fringe elements getting time. Rashford and Martial on at 70 for a run out could be fun.

What?

Minderbinder

today Rashford and Martial can talk to each other for the first time.

Lord TSC

Also curious how the "Mkhi plays better when Pogba does too" idea works today...

I'd say he'll start the cup tie

Time to get the finger out today.
Down to third after Chelsea's win, no pissing around in front of goal, we need a big win to get things back on track or we could see ourselves behind Liverpool by next weekend.

We need a win. A big win would be a bonus but we need to win whatever way we can. Another game on Monday.

When was last time Shane Long scored?

He will be highly annoying today,he is that type of player

Thirty something games for club and country without a goal I read this morning.

Really hope we smash this Southampton team today. None of this get 1 goal and sit back with 10 men behind the ball bs. That team is well capable of putting 3 or 4 past them!! The mood around United has dropped ever since the City game and especially with the last 3 results. Need to get back to winning ways. C'mon United!!

Cantona's Collars

Match thread is up, minimalist op to say the least.

Lord TSC

Jesus, this didn't look that bad but he looks out of it...

Mars Bar

Looks like Lukaku is getting an enforced rest now

wanderer100

Damn that looks bad. He's not opening his eyes

Might be a blessing in disguise... he’s not been in good form! Hope he’s ok though!

José overplayed him like he did Zlatan last season.

Lord TSC

I worry bout how they're holding his neck.

This doesnt look good at all

Anyone a link to the article in the times there talking about?

For fuk sake how is a head injury a blessing in disguise.. get a life.

He got the other players head into the base of his skull / top of his spine.

Hopefully it's just precautionary.

Grow up and get over yourself , you know what I mean.

Lord TSC

Hope he's alright, the contact didn't look bad, but the way he wasn't moving at all, the reaction of the medical staff...hope it was all precautionary and it wasn't as bad as it looked...

J. Marston

Looks to be in a bad state.

I don't think I'm the one that needs to do the growing up here.

****e talk . How does the number.of games one plays change the effects of a bang on the head

That's pretty standard when approaching head/neck injuries.

ScummyMan

Saints fans singing "this is a library" two minutes after an injury like that. Classy stuff

Yes you do and the twits who have somehow managed to take an obvious statement (that he’s Been in bad form and manager even suggested he needed a rest.) and somehow misinterprete it purely to get offended on Lukakus behalf for something I didn’t say (that I’m glad he’s injured/hurt).

J. Marston

"In good hands with this Man United medical team."

Fúcking rich coming from Hargreaves.

GSPfan

Can’t imagine that low level of impact has done any serious damage but it was low down on the back of the head, hopefully just a precaution due to him being a bit groggy. I knew as soon as he stopped reacting to the pain and lay still that he was going off.

Are Am Eye

Great to see Rashford up front.

He’s not in good form, it’s obvious , no amount of waffling will change the fact that a striker is judged on his goals. They were even highlighting his form at defending united corners.

No one is offended it was a stupid comment to make the man was down for 5 minutes with a head injury surrounded by medical staff and not moving how can that be seen anyway as a blessing in disguise is extremely not right.

And as for calling people twits I think that just shows the level.

PhlegmyMoses

Never a foul in a million years on Long.

One of the first things he did when he joined City was talk shít about United's medical team.
