Looking forward to seeing Martinez and Eriksen

We just have to win this game and get off to a good start but an impressive performance would be nice

Can't have Ronaldo, Ericksen, The Scottish Player, Bruno, Maguire in the same team. So slow off the ball opposition may as well be playing against training cones.

Sancho/Rashers/Ericksen/Bruno good compromise as the attacking 4.

Linked with Roma in the week

Or perhaps he’ll be a part of the de Jong transfer? They’ve been linked with him in the past too.

Martinez will be on the left not right. ETH said we had a big gap in the left last season.

McFred...what a time to be alive

Expected line-up.

Excited to see how Eriksen and Bruno link-up, and I'm predicting big things from Sancho this season.

The King will come off the bench as a beautifully poignant repeat of history of when he first arrived as a Prince nearly 20 years ago.

Maguire has played all preseason on the right too.

Sky think Erikksen is playing the furthest forward (not Rashford). Interesting.

The big gap being Maguire. Hopefully the team as a whole can cover his deficiencies today. He’s the weak link without doubt.

Pretty sure there were rumours ETH was willing to play with a false 9?

Think I read he did it for the Wrexham game?

Played false 9 for Ajax iirc

Not only three false nines but two false sixes. #tactics

Interesting

Hmm… Shaw is thick as mince too. He’s bought another LB for a reason.

Exciting side. 4-0

3-1 united. Line up decent. Prefer Ronnie off the bench.

Sanch and rashers to both notch.

Have managed to get all the kids here for this one

Very interesting. Has he got the legs for it?

5-0 Brighton. Welbeck hatty

Bint interviewing ETH - 3 questions about Ronnie FFS then moves onto the rest of the team / match.
