The match is pretty much secondary this weekend as Old Trafford wishes Alex Ferguson all the best after his announcement of his retirement as manager.

Emotional day for all us Utd fans, has given us more trophies and memories that anybody thought possible.. lots of tears,, but knowing fergie, come next season he will be still there in the backround..

keith16

No words left at this stage. Still in shock and don't really believe it.

Corvo

Hopefully the situation with Rooney won't take center stage

Al Capwned

Blub....

Man Utd 1 - 2 Swansea or Man Utd 10 - 1 Swansea. As if the score matters today tomorrow.

Pj!

Scholes nailed on to get a run. Giggs? Surely.


Going to be depending on some free stream for the game and I'm a bit nervous about it. Really, really, really don't want to miss a second of this.

Cantona's Collars

I only found out last night that I could have gotten a weekend trip to the game for €200,feckin raging and hungover today.
Theres gonna be a lot of emotional people in this thread today.

Richard Hillman

I think United will run riot today.

Chagan

The only way for this game to go is for United to score twice in injury time and win 2-1.

Ronin247

Thank you Sir Alex...... greatest manager ever

Timmyctc

Backed Scholes win cast and Giggs last goal at 3/1 and 9/1 respectively. Its really the only way it should go down.

Anyone watching sky sports 1 see the stadium displays in the back behind schmeichael? Looks quality

Blatter

Rooney isn't in the squad at all, Scholes starts.

Confirmed #Mufc XI: De Gea, Jones, Vidic, Rio, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Welbeck, Kagawa, RVP, Chicharito.

Bloody hell. Really thought Fergie would put it all to bed today.
Maybe the Jones thing is true?

Im happy with that

Lord TSC

One of the biggest games in United history and Rooney not in the squad.

Bye bye Rooney...

IamtheWalrus

The one real disappointing thing in Fergie's career was not getting rid of this boy after the transfer request.

Professey Chin

MU: De Gea; Jones, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra; Welbeck, Carrick, Scholes, Kagawa; Hernandez, van Persie

Subs: Lindegaard, Evans, Buttner, Anderson, Valencia, Cleverley, Giggs

Kylo Ren

Didn't he score 30 plus goals the season after the transfer request.

One of the biggest occasions, not game.

Lord TSC

Kagawa AND Hernandez in the starting line up?



EDIT: And Val is dropped!

MagicMarker

No Nani either.

user2011

Valencia on the bench :eek::eek::eek: bigger shocker then no Rooney

Unearthly

Nice team

He knocked Fergie's reputation as ruthless.

Rayne Wooney

That's Nani and Rooney gone

Ya possibly but it proved the desicion to do whatever it took to keep him was right.

In fairness, that'll be Moyes decision, not Fergie's.

Tbh, the fact it was "leaked" Rooney asked for his transfer just before Moyes was announced as the new manager, to me, showed Moyes wants him gone too, but the PR department didn't want it to look like the new manager was coming in and booting out someone.

Pj!

If anyone has any good recipe recommendations for some SS1 cake I'd really appreciate them via PM. Will happily pay if it's a very tasty cake!

Yeah that's a good point, he'll probably give every player a chance to prove themselves.

Nope, that was season before transfer request

Can I get in on this cake action too please? Die hard fan in South Korea who needs his fix

Be interesting to hear the official line about Rooney. Surely Utd will play it down (whatever it is) gives us the "he's not for sale" line.

Certainly from the outside you'd most probably say he is gone.

I don't think think it was. It was 2010 wasn't it.

Allegedly got into a fight with big Phil.

Season 2009/10 he scored 30 plus goals. It was late 2010 when he asked for request.

There was a rumour going around on twitter last night that Jones punched Rooney and cut him, and that Rooney wouldn't be in the squad because of it.

But it's almost certainly not true, MUTV showed Rooney getting off the bus and there wasn't a scratch on him.

It was the 09/10 he scored 34 goals and the 10/11 season when he looked to move

If jones was in the wrong then he wouldnt be playing today

Nuri Sahin

He starts Shinji :eek: Today is all about him!

MOTM for Scholes @ 4/1 or Shinji @ 10/1 I'll have some of.

Rayne Wooney

I'm just waiting for someone to come into this thread and argue that's it's a biased panel sky have for today....

Lord TSC

Haha, Neville interviewing Scholes on Sky Sports right now.

He scored 34 goals the year after the transfer request as well.

MagicMarker

Karl Pilkington must base his character on Scholesy

Kylo Ren

Wait, Scholes can talk?
