martial's out for 3 games, so either cavani is good to go immediately, or we probably need to change formation and play 2 forwards (presumably rashford and greenwood).
but honestly, god knows who you actually want to play next game, some of the team have not looked fit all season (pogba, AWB), and some of them seem to have left their brains at the bottom of a jug of long island iced tea (shaw, maguire).
i'd probably bring in telles, henderson, fred and VDB for DDG, shaw, pogba, and martial.
With Martial suspended:
.......................De Gea
.....AWB.... Bailly... Maguire.... Shaw
........................Matic
.............Fernandes... VDB
Greenwood.. Rashford.. Pogba

He’s way past it and will be interesting to see the comments when he fails. The funny thing is we never actually wanted him even when he was a free until we became desperate. I’ve seen these desperate signings before. They don’t work and he’s old and injury prone.
His injury record

Well i hope youre wrong... but no doubt you'd prefer to be right and see him fail just so you could say "i told you so" because lets be honest.. noone actually believes youre a united fan anyway
PS this is a really, really bad look for shaw:

I think pretty much everybody accepts that he's getting on a bit and has been injured, and also that there's an air of desperation about the signing. But it might not be as disastrous as you think, given the role he'll probably have in the squad. That's all.

it's footage of the 4th goal, with shaw drifting out to the edge of the area whilst someone (said to be DDG) shouts "“No, Luke! No, Luke! No, Luke! No!”"
so basically a cross between star wars and scottish lower league defending.

De Gea is screaming at Shaw to pick up Son. Shaw ignores him and runs to another player. Son scores a tap in.

I also wouldn't be averse to trying the diamond.
Henderson
Wan-Bissaka Bailly Maguire Telles
Matic
Van de Beek Pogba
Fernandes
Rashford Martial
Hoping that Rashford, Martial and Telles can get into decent wide positions.

I’d like to try this out

It really must hurt Shaw that he had probably his worst United game against Mourinho. And that, from what I heard, a lot of problems came down his side as he was probably targeted as a weakness.

Has anyone?
I think people are going a tad overboard saying we've reached an all-time low!
We absolutely need to improve across the board but there is enough talent there to at least challenge for top 4!
I do want to see a reaction in our next game though. I think the not sharp/fit enough excuses will have gone by then.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd suggest exactly the opposite, tbh.
If Pogba is fit and in form, he is our best outfield player. A few cameos of Beekers hasn't made me change my mind on that in the slightest.
Beekers seems to be going through that rare phase of becoming better and better in the fans eyes the more he sits on the bench.
I'm not dissing VDB, but he is almost completely untested in the PL

That's why Donny isn't yet in a lot of people's first XIs - we don't know enough about him yet. Nothing to do with underrating him, I don't think.

I didn't want to pick out one poster hence the use of 'people'.
As for Dan James then, as you know, I was a champion of his signing as a squad option but he's not kicked on like he should have. He was overplayed IMO and his confidence has gone I think. Hopefully he gets some good matches for Wales under his belt this week as he's looked better in that arena.
For my next bandwagon I think we should be looking towards Swansea again and Joe Rodon. He's got the ability to be a very decent CB and he wouldn't be that expensive either.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
i've probably watched ajax as little as most on here, but my rough understanding is that VDB has over the last year or so played mainly as a very advanced midfielder, doing most of his best work in/around the opposition box. so in our formation he would take bruno's place, not pogba's.
but some people just love a stick to beat pogba with, i saw some the other day pining for grealish, and saying how much better than pogba he is, as if grealish would have joined united to play in a midfield 2 alongside matic.
VDB does sound like a very interesting player but it's still yet unknown how Ole sees him being used? Like Don says he seems to operate best quite advanced which means the position Bruno plays, a position that also causes problems with how we use Pogba to be fair.
I guess it's a good problem to have and I hope one Ole has the answers for as I'm not really sure how he fits just yet.
