The Manchester United Thread

Yeah, nice goal from Mkhi. Rashford was also terrific when he came on for England; Marcus Rashford: Completed the most dribbles (7) and created the most chances (7) in England vs Lithuania despite only playing 30 minutes

Yep good Cameo by Rashford. Only reason I watched tbh.
 
Would of been a good international break if not for Jones and Smalling getting injured. From what I read most of our lads have played well. Mky getting a goal and fitness back. Shaw even getting game time. Read today Pogba could be available for WBA which would be great! Would start Rojo and Bailly for that game, Shaw at LB. hopefully gets a run now the other 2 CBs are injured.
 
Fellaini pulled from Belgium squad. Damaged foot/toe could be out a few weeks. So likely no Fellaini, Herrera, Pogba, Smalling, Jones, Rooney for WBA.

United have signed Will Vint, a 15-year old American midfielder. Son of Everton’s Academy Director Peter Vint. Has had trials at Everton (surprise) and Fulham.
 
  • WILSON ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY

    Manchester United striker James Wilson has delivered a positive update on his road to recovery after suffering a knee injury during his loan spell at Derby County.

    Although he is not setting any timeframe on when he will return to action, the 21-year-old is happy to report his operation went well and recent hard work in the gym is starting to pay off.

    It has been a frustrating season for the England Under-21 international, who joined the Rams for the campaign but was hurt in training in mid-October. His response to the setback was to post a message on social media saying he would be back fitter and stronger, and his outlook has not changed.

    "I was hoping that everything went well with the surgery," James explains in an exclusive interview with MUTV. "It was a very simple surgery, Steve Bollen did a great job in doing that. I just know I’m going to be back to what I was before anyway, so I’m just staying positive at the moment.

    "With an ACL [anterior-cruciate ligament], you know it’s going to be like eight months and that pretty much ruled the season out. So, like I say, there is no rush for me. There are days when you’re just trying to get through it and keep going, I’d say, but I think I’m at the best club to come back to for the rehabilitation.

    "The positives are it’s a break and I can kind of work towards things I probably couldn’t do during the season. I’m working hard in the gym and that’s something I’ve probably not had the chance to do with games coming thick and fast everywhere. I think it has benefited me in that way. But, yeah, it’s very frustrating not to be out on the grass every day, knocking the ball about."

    Wilson's finishing ability was always unerring while working his way through the ranks at United and, of course, he scored twice on his senior debut against Hull City. He also netted against QPR and Cambridge United, but much of his time in the past couple of seasons has been spent out on loan.

    "Well, I came back in the summer and my finishing was still there so hopefully, when I get back on the pitch, it will still be there," he says. "I know it will be.”

Not good on the CB front. Jones could be out for the season and Smalling was seen yesterday and today with a leg boot/brace on :(

Really hope to see something like this, with Blind in midfield.. hopefully he'll do good and will play midfield for the rest of the season and next season!

Might lack a bit of height against West Brom tho.. maybe Mensah will come in handy somewhere, or maybe Fellainis injury isn't that bad and he'll play? who knows!

The lack of mobility in that midfield is horrendous. I think we will move to a 343 again to stop help with this or we will see TFM play. One of the two. Can't play a 4231 with those 2 in midfield, just no movement what so ever. I have even heard people talking about playing Valencia in midfield as a possibility.
 
Who's gonna be next to Carrick then? And if Smalling and Jones are injured who's gonna play in that 3 men defense?

I will be very surprised if it's a back 3 with the CBs available. Most probs Blind next to Carrick. Would like to see-

DDG
Valencia-Bailly-Rojo-Shaw
Blind
Carrick-TFM
Mata-Rashford-Mkytarian
