Onana
AWB - Varane - Martinez - Dalot
Casemiro - Amrabat
Garnacho - Mainoo - Rashford
Bruno

gypsum has nailed it.

also gives us three genuine options off the bench in hojlund, amad and mctom.

Ok then...

We've been miles more solid with Rashford out of the team, but you want to put him back in for final?

OK then.

Also, absolutely ignore how better Amad has looked in 180 minutes than that @#%&! has all season.

Rashford is capable of scoring in big games in or out of form as he is.

Depending on Fitness, i'd hope he takes it as a point to prove. He's exceptional on the counter (Or transition as the Microsoft excel ASOS managers like to say)

It's not outrageous he would start, although I agree in that I don't see him starting currently.

Long week ahead, were well capable of producing 14 injuries, 2 crisis and a club statement before the game yet

I don't necessarily disagree, i've just lost all patience with him and think it's almost hoping on a miracle that he suddenly turns up for a cup final. The best thing for Rashford and United is that he leaves in the summer, his head is clearly aots

His positional defending us horrific, even against Brighton he £#%&!s right in close to the centre back allowing the winger acres of space....

But it's ok he can get back and tackle another huge weakness that will be exploited, he doesn't know how to defend space ...

Did lol when he showed that winger inside into the 6 yard box on Sat.

He does it all the time, got us knocked out of Europe doing it a few seasons back.....

Its not instructed on him, he just believes he will get the tackle in so.leaves his winger free reign over his side......

Like you say, the wingers in the box being shown the line ..... Oooooh noooo GOAL

he's a liability.....

This is the issue. Yes, he's scored against the bigger clubs but do we just ignore the state of his recent form? He's stunk the place out with every performance of late and even when he has scored, he's offered absolutely nothing else. His work rate is abysmal too.

He'll probably get picked but go off "injured" when we're 2 down.

Rashford should probably start for our best chance to win the game with how we'll have to play. So he probably will start.

But letting him walk back into the starting line-up for the final after this season would be a bit sickening.

onana
awb varane licha diogo
cass kob
amad bruno nacho
rasmus

all true.

it's not quite like fergie leaving berbs out of a cl final.

if we go with the sensible option, we might just lose without embarrassing ourselves. we may need peak rashford.

however, (a) the chances of getting peak rashford don't scream "go on, gamble!"; and (b) the @#%&! does not deserve to be in the team, given his refusal to run hard or pass to rasmus. £#%&! him. I'd rather win or lose it with nacho, rasmus, amad, kobbie, etc. this is not a chance for redemption. you don't get a chance for redemption unless you put in the effort.

This game is going to require full concentration, 100% effort and 90 plus minutes of competent defending right across the team. Rashford should be nowhere near the pitch.

I think there’s two options. We either play the ten hag way and get outplayed from the first minute or we play pure chaos ball and use the luck of a final one off game. We’re basically Wigan circa 2014 going in to this.

It’s a win / win on Saturday

Win the game….slap in the face for the 115ers

Lose….avoid that daft euro conference


At least that’s what I’m convincing myself

We avoid the European Vanarama win or lose, we get Europa League if we win.

It's Europa League isn't it...

Don’t care but can’t be having Rashford starting.

As poor as Rashford generally is, he’s even worse when he’s up against Walker. He’s beaten before he gets on the pitch. Bring him on in the second half to chase shadows for the last twenty. Fitting punishment for the effort he’s put in this season.

Would genuinely bench Rashford, get him to warm up halfway through then just leave him off anyway.

if we're winning, sure.

if we're losing, subbing a young favourite makes sense. "are they booing me?"

You’ve got to think Brighton was a test for a Varane-Martinez pairing.

Think Rashford will start over Amad. I like the idea of Bruno as a false 9 as we need a solid midfield three and Rasmus doesn’t look fit.
