good team, could have been alot worse, will see rooney dropping back into midfield to make it a 3..

1-3 utd..

Hope Cleverley can take his defensive responsibilities into mind, big game for him. Though I reckon we'll be playing 4-5-1 most of the game, tbh.

I wonder if Fergie's played Tone and Young cause they add a more defensive element to the team?

Still not that optimistic, though - come on, lads

@dstowellmedia: CORRECTION #MUFC XI: v Chelsea:
De Gea,
Rafa, Rio, Evans, Evra,
VALENCIA, Cleverley, Carrick, Young
Rooney,
RVP

Wingers

Can't believe Frogson's solution to the Welbeck-Hernandez selection dilemma is to play neither. Those lads are in great form.

Passable team, imagine that Rooney will be into midfield quite a lot, hopefully it does not end up with long balls pumped towards VP all day.

Major show of faith in Cleverley.

With how deep Hazard and Oscar could drop, those 2 with Mikel and Ramires will overcrowd our 2 soft @#%&!s in the middle.

This could get ugly mate unless Youngie delivers magic.

If you can call them 'wingers', not sure either really deserves such a grandiose title.

Ugly it is then.

So it will get ugly then, as aside from 2 decent strikes against Arsenal and Tottenham, he has never produced any magic whatsoever.

The goal against Blackburn was nice tbf.

Too early for Fletch, see how he goes in the League cup match. Could be quite a strong team out in that game, midfield and attack at least.

I can, think its the best formation for today, if not personnel. At least we should have a goal threat.

Probably by passing the ball around them. Hardly Davids and Zidane are they.

Wow.

Ashley Young belongs somewhere like, ooooh, Aston Villa.
