The Manchester United Thread

Our u18s drew 2-2 with City. Great game from what I've read Gomes made it 1-0 then City scored a own goal after some great build up play.

Sweat. Better if Utd had held out like to leave City starting on a loss but a draw works.

Leaves L'pool topping the table after this mornings 3-0 over Blackburn in the wind and rain.

Can't believe it wasn't televised. As City didn't have the broadcasting equipment ready.

Funny, as much as City have by far and away the best set up in the league at Youth level with what they've built over the road from the Ethiad, still the simplest things continue to have City being City.

This is a club that has full video boards up for youth games in the Academy stadium in front of a few hundred people. And they can't sort out the club broadcast. When L'pool went there the 23's, nobody could get in as the fella' with the key had locked up and gone for a cuppa'! I **** you not. No matter how much money you have. If the lad with the key goes for a brew, you wait outside!

City always finding ways to remember they'll always be City.
 
Great result for us today. And with City or Pool dropping points tomorrow. And Spurs with a tough game. Top 4 is in our own hands imo.

How is it a strange idea? Don't you feel there is something terribly unfair when you have clubs competing against one another with suh a huge gulf in quality and resources between them? We can't do anything about it in league competitions but at least for a European competition we should.

Also I never said the line is arbitrary. I have no idea what the cut-off should be but if Sevilla are above it then so be it. I am okay with thay.

Yes there is something a bit unfair about it but it is professional sport not some nine year olds and one reason people watch is for big upsets, and if you ban bigger teams that the teams that win it would likely be winners of smaller leagues like Ajax who can get into the champions league by winning the league or finishing second like they have done the last couple of years
 
You guys are assuming smaller clubs have a problem with playing against the big sharks in Europa League, but it's quite the opposite. Everyone loves running into the likes of United in those competitions. The clubs love it because it means advertising and ticket $$$$$$$$$, and players love it because it's a chance unlike any other to show their value and perhaps move higher in the food chain.
 
Well, a real opportunity to capitalise on those above us today yet again, with Arsenal yesterday and Liverpool/City inevitably dropping points as well.

Add in to the mixture that this is an uncertain time to play Middlesborough as there will undobutedly be a reaction, but we have a real opportunity today, but so many times we have been in this position and dropped silly points. So I'm not too confident, we need to score early to open the game up.
 
Confirmed squad members
Here are 15:

Carrick

Jones

De Gea

Rojo

Young

Tuanzebe

Lingard

Valencia

Romero

Fosu-Mensah

Martial

Shaw

Rashford

Fellaini

Mata
 
Not filled with confidence from that 11, going with that Chelsea like formation once again I see too.

Would much rather drop a central defender for Mkhitaryan behind Rashford.

Nevertheless, come on United!!
 
Only thing that gives me a bit of comfort is the couple of match winners we have on the bench if needed.
 
More than happy with that team. Should be enough to beat Boro. Don't mind 3 at the back obviously with a few better players for the system, but still confident. Mky not fit to start apparently.
 
Well I hope we've grown fluent at it very fast, because in both legs against Rostov using it we were pretty poor (professional, solid, but overall quite lacklustre).
