It’s a sorry state of affairs when the Capital One Cup represents United’s only realistic chance of silverware, but if we’re brutally honest that’s where we’re at right now. Don’t get me wrong in true Joe Hart style I won’t give up on the league until it’s mathematically impossible and as Chelsea proved in 2012, even an average side can have great nights, but we need to be pragmatic. Tonight’s semi final first leg against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light has a whole new meaning given the problems the Reds have faced this season. I wanna tell you..”

David Moyes can’t use the competition to blood youngsters or give the reserves a run out, this is a game where United need a win and one could argue that the only way to get that is to play a full strength side. With the loss against Swansea only two days ago, Moyes will have to shuffle his pack a little, here’s my predicted XI for tonight’s game- I’m guessing Wayne Rooney will be fit.

David De Gea, Chris Smalling, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, Patrice Evra, Michael Carrick, Anderson, Adnan Januzaj, Wayne Rooney, Wilfried Zaha, Danny Welbeck.

Do you agree?

    welbeck played four straight matches as a top 9 and scored. I thought we have found an RVPreplacement. but Moyes played him as a supporting striker and he was lost… I think he should start as a top 9 .the fast Hernandez can come Later on.. surely Anderson should be a given an opportunity..

  7. tunde osiki says:

    i prefer chicharito than wellbeck @ frontline

  8. DENNIS ABALOBI says:

    I see no reason why welbeck should remain in man u

  9. Charles says:

    Moyes need a great attacking midfieder. and he should consider d signing of coentrao. he plays in central defense and also left back. united 4 lyf.
