OK I'll go for a 4-3-3-1 formation.

even with all the injuries we have there is no way Rooney starts..............

Could play centre half - perhaps not given that challenge on the edge of the box..

indeed. the only excuse for him starting on sunday was to give someone else a rest for thursday, surely?

Celta have been resting up for this and they play at a very high tempo. We'll leave nothing in behind and look for Rashers and Martial to catch them. With our current home performances any kind of defeat would be very damaging. Take a goalless or a 1-1.

De Gea, Valencia, Darmian, Blind, Young, Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera, Lingard, Martial, Rashford.

Vile competition.

'tis... but we have won every single home game in it (albeit needing extra time v Anderlecht).

These are better set to hurt us that anyone we've faced yet though. Especially with our defence held together with sticky tape and midfield not much better.

We gave Anderlecht way too much encouragement last round. It's made me think any kind of defeat Thursday and we're in huge trouble.

we'll stay in the europa just long enough to have £#%&!ed up the league and no more.

We're £#%&!ed. We're not going anywhere without a defence i'm afraid.

No idea what the £#%&! is wrong with laurel and hardy - or why the pair of #@&%!s have been out for 7 £#%&!ing weeks.

Juan Mata has been off, had groin surgery and come back quicker than them.

We're not good enough. Simple

Funny thing is, I'd be confident of overturning Arsenal with the U21's on Sunday

They'll be gone in the summer

Something is defiantly up though, Mou called Smalling out earlier in the season for something similar.

It's not about being good enough. It's the fact we've got no fit centre halves, have an injury crisis and the players that are fit are absolutely £#%&!ed.

We did the usual thing of not making the most of our chances and then letting them back in. If we are to have any chance in this semi, that has to alter for a change.

That's the comfortable rhetoric, but they were dominating aspects of the play midway through the first half.

You fear a tired United against this Celta side at OT if they've got a sniff in the tie.

I was talking about the away leg tbh, you might expect even a half decent opponent to "dominate" parts of that.

Well I was talking about the home leg. A cheeky 1-1 away is fine.

God I hate this competition. Anderlecht and Celta @#%&!ing Vigo.

The entitlement....
