United travel to the Hawthorns tonight looking for their first away win of the season. The 15 day gap between tonight’s fixture against WBA and the ‘recent’ home win over Everton has seemed like a lifetime, but the good thing is it’s allowed a few players to creep back towards fitness.
Whilst United still have an injury list that would make an army medical tent blush, there is some good news for Louis Van Gaal. There’s rumours surfacing that Ander Herrera could play tonight wearing a protective corset following his recent rib injuries but LVG may be tempted to throw Michael Carrick back into the mix. United face both Chelsea and Manchester City soon and Herrera is vital to those two games. It could be a huge gamble but resting the Spaniard in favour of Carrick – himself still getting back to match fitness- could be a risk worth taking.
Phil Jones is also likely to return tonight which is great news considering he was one of the few players who didn’t embarrass himself in the opening games of the season.
Here’s a predicted line up for tonight.
[4-3-3] David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw, Michael Carrick, Daley Blind, Angel Di Maria, Juan Mata, Radamel Falcao, Robin Van Persie.
Do you agree?
de gea
Rafael. Jones Rojo Luke shaw
Daley blind
Carrick Di maria
Juan mata
Falcao van persie
I wld prefer the same line up. With januzaj instead of rvp.. So it ll b 4-2-3-1 with falcao alone upfront.. Angel Mata nd Adnan … Carrick & blind stabilising the midfield..
Who’s de holding middfielder if we play blind nd carrick????
This team can even beat Chelsea, cant wait to see them in action
we will beat Chelsea
Nice line-up but i would like to see januzaj there, instead of Rvp or juan mata.
For later mins into the second half,Januzaj can still be introduced to play in mata’s wing so it can continue to boost he’s confidence in the field of play
I think de line up is g8t, let’s use it n see how it will work.
I prefer adnan instead of rvp
Absolutely perfect lineup and herrera shouldnt start if not a 100%.
play Januzaj pleeeeeeeeeeese
