Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

I don't understand this about Bruno.

These next two games are two of the easier games this season. The Newcastle/Villa games will be harder, the City/Arsenal games next month will be harder, just objectively speaking these are two games against teams in the relegation spots and so are easier.

So if Bruno has a strain, why is there even a conversation about him playing? Just give him a damn rest, give Mainoo a game, rotate the squad now that you have a chance?

Its not like we are on a title charge and any of these games matter that much, its not a cup final that demands the strongest team

Just give him a break for a game.

Whatever about anything Amorim has been very careful with players around injuries and seems to be getting good returns out of players, which most if not all the fan base thought were write offs in shaw and Mount, mount certainly gets his tike manged well so far. I don't see Amorim risking Bruno unless he is actually passed by the medical team

Heaven in for DeLigt. Mount and Yoro on the bench. Maz and Cunha in.

Mazraoui, Heaven, Shaw… that's a fairly weak, lightweight and small, back 3. Would be concerned about us defending set pieces especially.

Here's hoping we can score a few.

Reminder to myself and folks to keep it positive tonight!

The Positivity Police will be on the look out.

Maz, Heaven & Shaw is not a back 3 I ever expected to see. I wonder will we see Shaw as the CCB because hes the most senior of the CBs. Be interesting to see how they get on anyway. I think we will have enough going forward with Cunha, Mbuemo, Amad and Zirkzee to win no matter how the back 3 perform.

Yes because we're not in Europe or the League Cup, so our players do not need to be rested.

But its not about us, you were speaking in general that teams don't do that, that the thinking was from 10 years ago.

It wasn't about resting anyway, it was about a player with a knock and letting him recover.

No matter, I guess I just don't agree. If ever we are going to give Mainoo a game then tonight is clearly the time to do it. Because if not now, then there will never be the right time.

I'd really prefer if Neville just excused himself from commentating on United games or giving his opinion on the team. Carragher is more tolerable at this point.
