Any Man U player you fear us coming up against?

Jesse Lingard is not playing. He’s asked for a few days off to clear his mind.

Utd will set up in Rangnick's favoured 4-2-2-2 surely?

Their style relies on lightning quick transitions and quick diagonal balls, trying to force the opposition out of their position and create overloads. Both of our wing backs will need to have exceptional nights I think.

Re: Elanga, I sat next to him and his agent on a flight to Stockholm a couple of years ago - apparently Utd were already banking him on being a big success. I've not seen a lot of him but he looks technically excellent with superb movement. Tracking his runs will be key (if he plays).

I think Tavernier will start as LWB tonight

Potentially, or if doesn't he'll need to spend a lot of time doubling up with the LWB.

Big risk for us is the centre halves getting pulled wide by quick switches, leaving the middle open for runs from deep (McTominay?)

I actually think we might counter that by playing a high line tonight, probably the most effective way of nullifying the quick switches but we'll need to get the offside trap spot.

Re: Cavani, he's not playing according to Rangnick. Which is a relief.

That was my first thought when Payero came on against Coventry. Can't wait to see our lads step up.. the lads on loan will be wanting to make their mark.

Sporaz 15 goals he needs for a permo.. do cup goals count?
 
How did we line up last time vs who we have in our ranks now..

Meijas - Lumley
Kalas - Dijksteel
Stephens - Payero
Gibson - Fry
Ayala - McNair
Friend - Taylor
Leadbitter - Crooks
Nsue - Tavernier
De Pena - Boyd-Munce
Downing - Jones
Kike - Sporar


Clayton - Howson
Zuculini - McGree (Watmore)
Nugent - Sporar

I have it on good authority from the missus that the player that they are getting excited about at the moment is young Anthony Elanga, recently broke into the first team and playing well. Young Swedish U21 player who has a big career ahead of him.

This didn't age well. 😀
