Gothenburg?

Smalling injured?

Very strong line up and close to our strongest team

Smalling banned for 1st game this year, so guess he's going with who's he's starting 1st game

But hes not even on the subs bench

Smalling is injured, Mourinho confirmed it yesterday.

Alright then I don't know, I just assumed, no injury report on him so maybe just given a rest

Jose: "Smalling has had a recurrence of an old injury from the previous season. Already he is suspended for the first game vs Bournemouth."

I'd imagine that will be our team and line up he will use in most games except Smalling in for Blind or Bailly and Pogba for Herrera.

Looks good

So hope blind doesn't carry on playing CB

Strong team. Drop Rooney for Pogba and bring Smalling and it looks good. Question marks at RB and actually I'd like to see Rashford given a chance to show what he can do in a more attacking team than what LvG produced.

My heart sinks whenever I see Rooney in the team. He's just not good enough to start as our number 10 ahead of Mkhitaryan, Mata or Herrera.

Subs: Johnstone, Romero, Darmian, Jones, Rojo, Fellaini, Carrick, Lingard, Mata, Young, Memphis, Rashford.

Maybe Rooneys limitations are hidden with better players around him, I mean zlatan and miki and maybe pogba just overshadow him and stops him trying those silly cross field passes or running out of position every 5mins, well that's the hope from me

Hopefully a quicker tempo will help him also. And the rest of the team. Perhaps he suffered as much as anyone having to play with the handbrake on?

Galatasaray XI: Muslera; Linnes, Chedjou, Hakan, Carole, Selçuk, Dzemaili, Yasin, Sneijder, Bruma, Sinan.

Thats a lot to hope for. Myki Has looked good in that position, and our best dribbler at this point maybe rashford.

We are still lacking on the right, we should be testing the will of Leicester on Mahrez with a 100 million.

Mourinho: "At the moment we have 22 fit players, but we will have another one." [mutv]

Not sure how a quicker tempo benefits Rooney. He's got a poor first touch and a very average range of passing. He's also very laboured on the ball.

He really should just make late runs into the box and try to make contact. he is not going anywhere
