Not sure how widely known this is, but Utd women's team, like the men's, has reached FA Cup final this year.
The under 14s just won something as well ,team features a certain Rooney jnr and carrick jnr .

There’s a good video by mitten about how the youth set up has improved the last few years ,so hopefully red kids like Carlton palmer don’t end up at city .
Was Carlton palmer a red?

I know Cole Palmer is a United fan wink
Got his Palmers mixed up - it’s not unusual smile

Crystal Palace have rich form flowing through their veins: 3 wins and draw in their last 4 games.

I am predicting we get 1 point maximum, or zero points maximum tonight.

Not hopeful to getting 3 points maximum.

Palace seem to be finding their feet under their new manager. They beat us with ease at Old Trafford and always put on a show against the top teams.

Why's that then? We're not local.

Remnants of King Cantona kung fu incident?

You probably don't remember that a Palace fan died after the Villa Park cup semi final replay, following united fans anger at the Cantona ban and many fights around the ground. Very few united fans choose to remember that, but Palace fans do.

Amazing lack of luck / self preservation we have. Just seen the news about Maguire out now too, so there are no CB for tomorrow? Or we rush Martinez back and break him again? It was already going to be flipping hard, now it's going to be mad.

Just stop training and do basic fitness preservation if we can't figure out how not to hurt ourselves at this point.
Surely there is a central defender in the youth team who could play, does ETH even know that they exist? Seems strange that he keeps putting square pegs in round holes, give them a try, couldn't be worse than playing Cassemiro and who ever else.

Yes. After a fight in the car park of a pub near the town. And that's the source of the ongoing animosity, not the Kung Fu kick itself, the bloke in the crowd was a tt...

Looks like Evans travelled so no doubt he will be thrown in with Casemiro.

The youth defender was Kambwala but he is injured. Fish is out on loan and the other in the U21 look young. I presume he would rather go with the Brazilian with tons of experience than a young CB who could have a nightmare game.

Not sure if you have seen the youth players playing for Utd this season so I can only assume he does know about the youth and is happy to promote.

Bench could he full of kids though as Bruno is a doubt for the game. Down to literally the dregs of a squad.

Not sure Dregs is particularly motivational. I'd go with the old Harry Redknapp bare bones myself.

Moyesy is going to be free in the summer by the way. Careful what we wish for.

Yeah, it's a bit thin considering the trillions we've spent. There's a massive lack of pace through the spine too, other than Hojlund. I'm not particularly optimistic about this one to be honest.

Very much the kind of team we used to put out when things were over and done with and we needed to rest players. Quite amazing how things have gone.

Matters not. we have nothing to play for in the league.

All our eggs are in the FA Cup basket.

Anyway, suspect it will be a miserable end to a miserable rainy bank Holiday Monday. On verra.

It’s a little bit worrying that Casemiro keeps forgetting that he’s not playing as a midfielder tonight.
