    Jesus Jones shouldn't start. He isn't good at coming into the fray without a few games under his belt. Raf got the hairdryer of all hairdryers from fergie last week I'd imagine. Likely Smalling or Tony V RB. I'd say for anychance of united winning they should play Park to watch Silva threat. Silva on form is a daunting prospect. Especially at Cashlands

    There is no chance whatsoever of Valencia playing right back tonight.
    None.

    At all.

    And as for playing Park???? Just No.

    Aguero is currently 9/1 on paddy power to score first.

    Theres a very good chance he'll play there tonight because I think we will go with 3 in midfield so we will need to increase our attcking element from somewhere, Valencia has never left us down defensively when played there and his delivery is so much better than rafael, rafael is also a disaster case waiting to happen.Another reason for playing Valencia there is it will allow us to play Nani on the Right wing where he is so much better and I get a sense his form his returning, that would allow us to play young aswell and Rooney up top on his own

    One of the lads in work got that Rooney first scorer, United to win 2-1 deal at 60-1 in-store with PP. Even €2 would be worth it.

    It is highly unlikely Valencia will start at right back tonight as he has no left foot, that has caused him problems everytime he has played right back and frankly it is a waste of one of our most productive attacking players.

    The only way you see him right back is if United are chasing the game and Nani or Young (whichever doesnt start) comes on and he may leave Val on but shift him to right back in that case.

    I would be more surprised to see Valencia start at right back then I would be to see Ronaldo return to United this summer.

    Why would we start with Val at RB? It makes zero sense

    This makes a lot of sense but I just can't see it happening. Valencia is too good an attacking option to remove from the midfeild and playing right back behind him must be a pleasure because if you do venture forward you better believe he will have you covered. Raf at RB with instructions to venture forward very rarely and not until we have a lead with Tony in midfeild and Nani on the bench is what I can see from the outset.

    Then again its Fergie, he has made some really unpredictable team selections this season so expect the unexpected.

    Valencia offers so much in that he is constantly forward and occupying their fullback. He is an out ball, more so than any other United player, on so many occasions in big matches that it would be madness to play him at RB.

    DDG

    Rafael--Rio---Evans---Evra

    ---Scholes--Carrick--Giggs--

    Valencia
    Nani
    Rooney

    Just don't see how he can go any other way apart from a change or two at the back. Going with both Welbeck and Rooney in a MF 2 would be suicidal iyam.

    I have this built up in my head as a 3-2 end to end stuff match, with penos and sendings off, great saves and the woodwork being rattled a few times, last min winner, Manager scuffle, half time tunnel bust-up and even a streaker.....:D:D

    I fear I have set myself up for disappointment

    (waits for boring 0-0 draw where the midfields cancel each other out)
