The Official Manchester United Thread (Vol 9)

Apparently Telles hasn't been training until today, so probably not starting & possibly not in the squad.

If he's not it will probably be the 4-2-3-1 Ole likes, unfortunately (I prefer the 352).

DDG
AWB, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw
Fred Matic (or McT)
Mata, Bruno, Rashford
Martial

Would like to see VDB over Mata or Bruno for the freshness, but suspect not. 5 subs in CL isn't it? so probably Cavani, Pogba and VDB from the bench. If we get a good lead then might see Pellestri for a cameo too.

Tough game, Leipzig are pretty handy. If we do win, though, that's us in a strong qualification position from the group with the next 2 games against Istanbul.

About time the poor sod got a start.

Nice, good to see Ole shaking it up a bit. Obviously taking a chance but with so many games in quick succession he has to rest sometime and I guess the unexpected 3 points in Paris has helped a bit.

Even more excited for the game now

I’m pleased he listened to me resting Rashford and Bruno. Nice and fresh for Arsenal !

Chuffed Greenwood is starting

He is so clinical!! I’d start him over any forward we have. Give him 2 chances he’ll score one. Give Rashford 8 he’ll score one

[franki68]

Good game ,we’re playing well and they are .

Good goal for Greenwood.

Can someone tell our defenders to stop passing the ball to RBL players on the edge of the box, please? Suicidal stuff.

Cant believe we didnt buy upamecano in the summer. Look at the big bd run for only £40m or so buyout clause.

Was that the buy out!?! Jesus it’s a no brainer we spent that on a 18yr old who’s started one senior game

Yeh something like 45m then he signed a new contract which reduced it to somewhere in the upper 30s from what I remember.

If you believe the press he's our target next season.

Fingers crossed but prob go elsewhere....

Very poor performance so far. Lucky that RBL has also been poor.

[GTO-3R]

Upemecano is bloody good isn’t he. We’d be mad not to go for him next summer!

Fred is making me nervous with him giving the ball away so much near our own box!!!

I watched him against spurs last year. He looked like such a machine, pretty sure I posted here saying we should buy him after that game!
