For me Miki must start, TFM should as well. my 11: ROMERO TONY TFM JONES SHAW HERRERA SCH... MIKI ROONEY MARTIAL RASHFORD Giving squad players and youth game time is more important than winning this cup to me! Still a strong side that should win it! |

Saving our "complete" performances for the cups these days. Wouldn't be untypical of us to go out and win this by 2 or 3 after Sunday. Cups might be our last chance not only to win something but keep a bit of pride albeit if somewhat diminished.
We can forget about the league right now.
Even for the manager the cup would be a small bit of pride recovered from what's been an average season at best so far.
I see no reason not go strong again maybe rest for Ibra alright.
Right now it's 4 games off a trophy and we're on collision course with the scousers I reckon for this.
Surely there would be nothing better for the club players manager and fans to get one over the Kl'opp.
Let's do our job anyways tomorrow night and see how everything unfolds from there

De Gea
Valencia - Jones - Blind - Shaw
Herrera - Carrick
Mata - Rooney - Micky
Martial
Jose's gone pretty strong in this so far so I don't see why he'd change now, our league form is dismal at the minute so cups it is. Tear them to shreds  |

Not often do you get a chance for a rematch so soon against a team you lost (well drew but it still feels like a loss), so I'm expecting us to go out and kick some ass. Not a fan of Darmian, so if Shaw's available I'd play him there; if not - Blind or Rojo.
De Gea
Valencia Jones Rojo Blind
Carrick
Herrera Fellaini
Lingard Martial Rashford

Ohhhhh that's right, sorry.
Alright, then I'd go with something similar to yours, but I still think we should start Lingard on the right - he looked good in the previous one

Sky Pundit Charlie Nicholas Well, West Ham did very well on Sunday and Manchester United continue to be the most unlucky team in the Premier League! They have a problem at Old Trafford of playing well, but not getting wins, and now the annoyance of Jose Mourinho is clear for everybody to see. West Ham might need to get Andy Carroll back into the mix as it sounds like Diafra Sakho has picked up another injury. They're running out of bodies. I think Mourinho will make quite a few changes and I wouldn't be surprised if this went to extra time, but I'm expecting the hosts to edge it. Charlie predicts: Manchester United to win 2-1 and Jesse Lingard to score first Xtra time .................... please no - don't know if Lingard will be selected Seeing even more criticism of Jesse from our own fans on the web lately  |

Fell asleep at HT  Nothing to do with United though, I think we were great in the first half and it looks like we did even better in the second from the highlights. That assist by Micky for the second goal is so sexy  We were overdue a win. A shame that we let one in, but if there was ever a player that I wouldn't mind scoring against us is Ashley Fletcher. And to think that if he wasn't injured we'd probably have him in the first team instead of Rashford... But yeah, happy days, Ibra shined - what is it now, like 11 goals? I know it's 7 in 12 games in the PL. Not bad for a 35 year old, eh? Martial shined and Micky shined as well - and their pace masked over Ibra's lack of. There were some issues at the back, but who cares, 4-1. This is probably the closest we've come to SAF's days |

proper United football and I enjoyed it! Haven't seen that for a long while. West Ham were completely absent tough. Everton will be a good test so see if made a step forward or if West Ham was just that poor...

Enjoyed it immensely, great win and a kind draw for the semis,but we must start to replicate this football in the PL too.

And to think that if he wasn't injured we'd probably have him in the first team instead of Rashford... Confusing him with Keane, which I think is a bit of a myth anyway, Fletch was out on loan at the time. Pleased for him, it was a nice moment even though it was against us. A good performance last night, we went for it from the off, some of our attacking play in the first half was brilliant. Not seen us attack like that all season, quick, incisive, one touch was a joy to watch just a shame that only one of the moves had a goal at the end of it. Clanger from Dave and a good reaction from Fletcher levelled it up but second half we didn't let it get to us like on Sunday, we came out firing again and played some great stuff. The front four were brilliant throughout. I don't buy this management of Mkhitaryan by Mourinho but whatever happened it looks like it is sorted and water under the bridge. Hopefully he can get a run in the team and keep this level up as we'll reap the benefits. |

Fletcher went to Barnsley in January 2016, Rashford was first named in a line up in November 2015. And Keane was probably injured too
I don't know about Mkhitaryan... one game is a little too early to tell, but it doesn't matter whether it was Mourinho's management or he simply adapted, if he keeps playing like he did yesterday I won't ask questions

Keane was out on loan and Fletcher was with the U21's (and fit) when Rashford first got called up.
At the time I recall a few of us being surprised to see him ahead of Fletch, showed how highly regarded he was by the club and LVG which is why I don't buy that Rashford was pure luck come February.
