Lord Northski Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 If true, then most will raising an eyebrow considering that we have an entire midfield that cost to buy what either of these two each get paid in a week. It not only outlines the absurd financial disparity there is in football, but it suggests that Manchester believe that we could do a job on them. Only serves to increase the amusement factor.

marmite Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Its a 1/4 final ffs so he wants to win it as much as we do. Its a compliment to us if he plays players of such stature. Bring it on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Why would anyone think it’d be a reserve side? They fielded many top players in other rounds and will only take it more seriously as it progresses. It’s a QF against a team on the up not a first round tie against a minnow. It’ll be a very strong side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re talking about world class players. Smalling, Darmian, Blind, Herrera, Lingard, Martial, Rashford, Fellain, Matic, Young, Lukaku, Mkhitariyan and Mata all in the squad for the last two ties.

Northern Red Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Mourinho isn't one for playing a load of kids in any competition, never has been. It won't be full strength but it's not going to be particularly weak either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRed Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 It will be as close to a full team as possible for them. Jose has always taken this competition seriously, with the league gone and the CL a long shot in the extreme they only have the two cups - at the moment - to go for.

wendyredredrobin Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Yep, his only real chance of silverware. Jose is taking it seriously. He doesn't want anyone robin him of his trip to Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judda Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I could understand that as they're coming back from injury/suspension. Probably a few more big name fringe players like Fillanni (sp?) And some younger players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigratedRobin Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 We want to play and BEAT their best team. Anything else will be a small victory. But a draw and replay at Old Trafford would be sweet, no matter the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Cloud Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 with the League title looking very distant - this may be their easiest/only chance of silverware so I'm expecting, a pretty decent starting team with some big names on the bench just in case!

And Its Smith Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I am predicting something like this. Maybe Pogba in midfield for one of those two. McTominay might play as well i guess Romero Tianzebe Lindelof Rojo Shaw Fellaini. Herrera Lingard. Mata. Henrikh Zlatan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
