    United getting love. That's a first hahaha

    Really, it all depends on who's in midfield and whether or not Martial can pass that late fitness test. Fingers crossed.

    If Martial is fit, it'll likely be, something like this

    --------------------De Gea-----------------
    Valencia----Smalling-----Blind-----Rojo
    ---------Carrick / Schnedierlin/Herrera-----
    Lingaard-------Rooney--------Martial
    --------------Rashford---------------

    2 from 3 between Carrick. Schneiderlin and Herrera

    Think Schneiderlin needs to play this match given West Ham's physicality. The reason why we did well against last time is because we had our own battering ram (Fellaini) against theirs so it evened out. Herrera on if we're chasing the game or lacking some sort of creativity.

    It's Herrera and Schneiderin. Had a sneaky feeling he'd give old man Carrick a rest after the weekend exhaustions.

    And Mata for Jesse

    Herrera and Mata in is adding creativity for physicality. Looks like we want West Ham to play our game. I'm scared for the defence but I think we can get in a couple of goals. Good to see Phil Jones back on the bench after going MIA this whole season.

    He's a bit of a nutcase, and probably not a better coach than Guardiola, but I prefer him to Guardiola anytime. Obviously not a good idea to be on his bad side. Huge ego. But I definitely support him tonight (and next season, if he stays with Manchester United).

    And Schweinsteiger too. He's my comeback player of the year next season.

    Ute game delayed due to the team bus getting attacked and blocked by West Ham hooligans. Back to the 70's:grin:

    Very bizarre and weird scenario

    It's their last game at Upton Park. Why not just go out and enjoy the game? Or is it because United beat them in the FA Cup? :grin:

    Utd are spineless. No character shown at all.

    Unbelievable. But West Ham deserved the win...clearly.

    That has to be the end of van Gaal now.

    Surely. I'm not watching another United game next season if he's still in charge. His footballphilosphy is the most dreadful style I've ever witnessed. I will turn my full attention to other leagues.

    what happened in Vegas or Munich stays in Munich

    No unnecessary hate for one guy and pray that Man City does not make CL Qualifiers

    Pellegrini is still the coach for couple of games and he deserves fighting for that spot

    Hail Pellegrini!

    German SZ saying Ancelotti just had a talk with Götze: told him he's not in his plans and should leave the club if he wants to play regularly.

    I thought so after the Sanches transfer, sad that Götze couldn't find success at Bayern. Thanks, Pep.
