Fergie's determined not to play Kagawa, Rooney, Van Persie & Cleverley together.
It's painful tbh ..if those 4 clicked we could be watching some great stuff this year.

That season everything went through him but in 2002/03 Keane was the more controling influence on the team and Scholes was more important in the final third of the pitch with scoring goals

the days of a United lineup making you excited pre match are long gone it seems

we're just left hoping for the best these days

didnt use to mind him pre Suarez affair but ever since then he's sorta made it he's mission to come across as controversial as possible dressed up as some sort of footballing sage

he needs his head sorting he does.

probably give spurs loads of the ball, van persie and kagawa will spend most of the game sanding up front on their own.

Yep.

We'll probably win, but its hardly the point. This is a good fixture we should feel excited about, with a line up that suggests we have a good balance, with faith shown in young players. instead, senior players are untouchable and kids aren't rewarded. I expect us to huff and puff and, most importantly, I dont expect it to be entertaining to watch.

I'm a bit apprehensive about this, we knew Giggs and Scholes starting together last week was asking for trouble, and we were lucky as £#%&! to get away with it. Getting away with it two games running is pushing our luck...

What in the name of £#%&! is SAF thinking with this?

Scholes and Carrick generally don't move too far away from each other, or too far ahead of the CB's - and Kaggers has bizarrely been pushed further forward alongside the striker ... it's leaving a huge big space for the opposition to take.

The midfield that played midweek would be far better - not brilliant by any means, but at least they play in midfield, positive passing, forward movement.

Hope to £#%&! we get the points, but £#%&! me we're playing a dangerous game here.

Fat rugby ball headed @#%&!. Keegan and Burley in the studio too. What a shower of £#%&!ing #@&%!s.

Fergie said he got rid of Berbatov because he wanted us to play at a higher tempo & yet he's playing two 40 year olds in the centre of our midfield every week. It's no wonder Kagawa & VP look so isolated at times.
Rooney, Cleverley & Anderson should all be starting today.

We may well win today but the fact is, when a 'big' game rolls around we'll play one striker & cram the midfield with experience - a carbon copy of last season. It's awful to watch.

Jon Champion ffs

What a tit this commentator is.

Apart from going on about the Dark Knight did Fergie even mention his cowardly team selection in the interview??

Where can I get a link these days?
