    I'd take a comfortable win for United here with a much-changed 11 from the league regulars.

    I do expect a United second-string team to win here, but Burton Albion are not laughable fodder. They've been doing quite well climbing the leagues the last few years.

    Unfortunately for them though, the Championship seems to be the limit of that climb with them currently treading water in the Championship's relegation zone. So I'd be expecting any United team to be able to handle them at Old Trafford tonight.

    There is the unpredictability of cup games, but United should be winning this without much drama. If we go out of a cup at this stage, I'll be a bit livid. Trophies are nice, especially when you have the squad to contend for them, which we do. No excuses tonight, unless Jose literally names the entire U-23 team for this fixture. In which case, we have some problems.

    Be nice to see Angel Gomes. He is doing a bit of a Sancho at the moment and not signing the contract offer, involvement here could help.

    Would have preferred MC Tom in there rather than Mata who Jose will surely be selling in January as clearly sees him as nothing more a Carabao cup level luxury player. #12monthsago

    All trolls welcome - ye've had a quiet few weeks :)

    Id love to have seen a few youngsters but I understand that Jose has to keep giving game time to senior players. Any chance it is a 4-4-2 with Martial & Rashford up top together?




  • Expect Burton to take a bad beating here
    They have made 9 changes too!! Eyes on the championship.

    Rashford :)

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    Rashers

  • Lovely finish!
    Lovely touch from Jese!




  • Credit to Albion
    They are giving it a good go but mistakes will be pounced on


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 779 ✭✭✭HONKEY TONK


    With this team giving Albion so much possession they are not doing themselves any favors getting into the starting XI for a PL game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,548 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato

    Mata with a cheeky nutmeg

    Great attempt from Martial


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    Oh Martial that would have been so sexy


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 17,935 Mod ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Between the two chances, as much as I love scissor kick goals, the touch by mata for the nutmeg would have easily made it a better goal for me

    Burton RB should have been booked by now, that's 4 cynical fouls on Martial

    A long way to go with him but there is zero rush to put him in. If push came to shove I would expect Blind to start at CB before him at the moment.

    Wtf is this ref smoking.. king fu kick cantona would have been proud of

    What was the ref thinking? Ha


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 17,935 Mod ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Shaw spent the last 10 mins warming up, reckon we will see him for second half
