Flectcher on the bench. 4-4-1-1 it is. Unless, of course, Darron Gibson starts..

dont even joke...

Rumours around the Wembley press box that Sir Alex has "sprung a major surprise" in his team selection. Something that would make you gasp. (@nickcoppack)

Must be Darron Gibson.

Rumor that Berba is not even on bench. **** 100s of rumors floating around. Best to wait for one more hour for official line up..

Might be 3 strikers instead of two.
Read a while ago that Fergie thought the best way to win against Barcelona is to attack them...

 

[blank 27]

Busquets will win best actor
and what formation Man Utd use,eh
AFAIK SAF use 4-3-3?
please,be defensively,maybe we have to 'park 5 plane'
and who is the surprise player,huh?

 

[Sulsey]

I expect Man Utd to score first, Rooney.
Barca to then come back with two, both being of course by, Messi.

 

[Vanjagl]

Hmmm... maybe Valencia will be RB, and Nani RW ?

Wouldn't mind that tbh. Fabio/Rafael are too attacking and Villa + Messi will just get behind them so easy. Valencia is more disciplined and will stay back more.
And Nani against a "weakened" Abidal will be interesting. That's if Abidal plays.

I agree... but we can't use Valencia's pace then :/ Tho Nani isn't slow either.

What does that mean for Berba? Leaving?

FUUUUUUUCK..... why alex, why :'( ?

 

[Ride The Walrus]

Owen on the bench suggests counter attacking approach.

No Puyol.

 

[Joel`]

What does that mean for Berba? Leaving?

He said he wants to stay and that he's spoken to the club about it. He has rarely performed in Europe or away from OT and it allows more variation in the bench. Reading too much into it, it does make sense.
