Tevez not playing

SlickRic

PHB

immature ejaculation

I love the Community Shield. Purely because it means the Premiership is only a week away.

Gillington

C'mon City!

Small bit excited

Blatter

I'd expect a strong enough team from both sides.

Possible Utd lineup;

---

De Gea

---

Fabio

---

Vidic

---

Ferdinand

---

Evra

---

Giggs

---

Carrick

---

---

Anderson

---

Nani

---

Rooney

---

Young


Not sure if Cleverly, Welbeck, Smalling, Jones or Park will start after playing in Marseille on Tuesday. Evra may not play either, possibly depends on whether or not Rafael is fit. Fabio may then move to LB if Rafael does play.

Thing is a lot of the lads who didn't play Tuesday night played last night in Van Der Sar's testimonial so don't think it will have to much of a bearing. Would like to see Cleverly & Welbeck given a run as they have been very impressive in the last two games.

Any word on the knock Welbeck got Tuesday night or Rafaels injury from the weekend?

That's true alright, I had forgotten about the Scholes testimonial. I would still say the game will be taken seriously though and he'll put out a very strong, if not the strongest side he thinks that'll be able to beat City.

I'd be very surprised if he didn't go 4-3-3 and match City up.

UTD to nick it but the main talk will be of a long term injury to a couple of key players .

Odd.

City to win 1-0, Ferdinand to react in the usual manner and have a go at Balotelli.

I'd like to see the 4 young lads (De Gea, Fabio, Smalling & Cleverley) get some game time, along with Fletcher. Apparently he has been training fine, so he needs some minutes on the clock. I'd definitely play Young too. Anderson needs to step up a lot and it should be a good test for him.

Come on United.

Or indeed any other day, where Balotelli is concerned it seems.

Michael Carrick is likely to miss the game after picking up a slight Achilles problem in Edwin van der Sar’s testimonial on Wednesday

Any team news yet?

ko4jm6y9iwv2lc

Is this on any poor people channels or just Sky Sports?

Fascinated to see what team Fergie puts out. Would love to see Cleverly and Wellbeck starting but I'm doubtful if either will. I'd say there's more chance of Cleverly starting, if either of them do.

Really looking forward to the game.

iMuse

#MCFC team to face United: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, De Jong, Silva, Yaya, Milner, Balotelli, Dzeko

Aguero on bench

Unless you have a satellite dish that can pick up German channels, no.

Anyone else have United's starting XI?

CrackisWhack

anyone got a link?

It will be nice to see Smalling playing right back again! He is so quick and comfortable on the ball. I have a feeling Smalling will be ahead of Rafael and Fabio for the RB slot.
