We should beat them there, I believe we can.

Oasis007:
Afrodoc2..... do you see Iqbal as No. 6 or as No. 8? To me, Mainoo has locked down No. 8 already and Amad is coming to possibly fight for No. 10.

I do not see future for Mejbri at United. He is talented but that position is loaded already, except he can play 10 which I hope.

I think they are all 8s.

Mainoo can be retooled as a 6 as well cos he is strong, press resistant, and has more discipline defensively compared to the others. Out of the 3 he has the most complete package (not necessarily the most talented). for a CM.

Iqbal’s best bet especially with the way ETH likes to play, is to be an 8. He is the most similar player we have to Eriksen or FDJ. He needs to become stronger and keep improving his line breaking es. He needs that strength in order to improve his progressive runs.

Mejbri I think is an 8 as well because his best attributes are his powerful runs in midfield, good technique, good long range ing. He probably can be retooled as a 10 but is he better in that role compared to the ones ahead of him and the ones coming up behind?

olabode89:


Iqbal and Mainoo 8
Hannibal 10 but might have to settle as a no 8.

Fair. I don’t think we disagree too much on that.

This lady wan give bruno fans heart attack oh . stop that

Bruno is one of the best in his position in world football. I'm not sure what you are referring to.
his understudy cum replacement will likely come from within the youth ranks in the club, and that's some 4 years away.

Hopefully Man utd will return to itts glory days like Real Madrid

Inter Milan have reportedly ed PSG and potentially Chelsea and Real Madrid in the 'race' for José Mourinho [@Repubblica].

🚨 Wilf Zaha is considering a shock move to Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr.

He wants the Saudi payday! 🇸🇦💰

Yes ooo

We are doing well


We just need to sign some good players by next season then we can continue from there.

At least, if we can get good players, a UCL semis won't be bad by next season

How does it affect the performance on the pitch? We are at home and the fans at Old Trafford is all we need to push the team.

I won't mind this formation for the Barca game.

.......Dalot..........Varane................Martinez...............Shaw......

..........................Casemiro.............Fred....................................

.........Bruno...................Sabitzer........................Rashford........

........................................Weghorst.........................................


Casemiro to sit as the CDM and Fred and Sabitzer to shadow and press FDJ and Busquets respectively. What we don't want is for Busquets and FDJ to seize that midfield and monopolize possession at Old Trafford.

Sancho, McTominay, Garnacho, Malacia, AWB et al on the bench, though an option if ETH wants to be ultra-attacking is Sancho at 10 for Sabitzer but Sancho might not be able to do the pressing needed in that role.

Why will you play dalot against a team like barca. Dalot that sometimes forget he is a defender. Remove dalot

That is what i prefer. You are free to put your own.

He would start him if he was fully fit and back to form. Before Dalot's recurrent injury he was the preferred RB and it was so bad that AWB almost never played and Dalot was playing 90mins back to back to back. He started against Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City this season.

A fully fit Dalot is preferable to a fully fit AWB. Dalot is better in of positional awareness, defending the back post and even aerially. Dalot is also better in possession and against the press. AWB is a better 1v1 defender and that is it. He is actually the one that often forgets he is a defender with the way he often sleeps on duty at the back post and loses track of runners.

AWB is likely to start because i don't think Dalot is really back to his pre-injury form but if he is back to that sharpness ETH will start him.

So want to tell me that as a man UTD fan, defensively you prefer dalot to awb

Based on the totality of this season, yes. Defending is more than just sliding all over the place like a champion skier. Additionally RBs are important in of the attacking aspect of the game as well. I prefer Dalot as a RB.

Very interesting. My guess is that Sancho will come in for Sabitzer even though I would rather Fred on the bench and Sabitzer in for him.

There are no away goals anymore so ultimately we have to win. I do accept that we need to make sure Busquests and FDJ dont grab hold of that midfield though.

Well I prefer awb to dalot. That match against barca, we need to be at our best defensively.

I don't see ETH benching Fred unless Sabitzer and Casemiro have been mad impressive in training. They have never played together so i would prefer to use the tried and tested partnership of Case and Fred.

Fair enough. AWB is playing well currently so i won't be shocked if he starts but i prefer Dalot myself.
