I agree with Ed004 here, i don't want Mata and Matic to start on sunday, 9 out of 11 players we already know the other two i would play Lingard in the 10 role for now since we didn't get Bruno and i would play Greenwood on the right in front of the rock Bissaka, boy has tons of talent, is extremely fast and has a natural instict to find the net, not like Martial and specially Rashford, boy is ready he needs to start tomorrow and lingard because he does run for the team and fits the way Ole wants to play, would love to have someone with more creativity there but let's get behind the team guys, i unlike other posters here am very, i mean very optimistic because we are finally playing footy with the intention to win games, is it going to be enough to challenge? no i don't think so but top 4 is achievable in my eyes.

You’d love some more creativity yet you said mata shouldn’t start? Martial is an excellent finisher.

Martial's an instinctive finished. His workrate and movement is a problem not his finishing. He can finish no problem its getting into the positions to finish.

Rashford scored on club, England, league and champions league debuts. You don't do that if you can't finish. He needs an extended run in the position not keep being moved out wide.

I think Ole will go for a bit of flair, i think he wants to go back to the attacking football we are known for.

As you say 9 of the 11 the majority of us would pick. I would say that 100% of us would pick the same back 5 now.

McTominay - Pogba will play in midfield and should be the 2. Rashford and Matial will play in the attacking role and 1 in the 3. Who starts up top between the 2 I don’t know but i think it is interchangeable so it should not matter. That leaves the 10 role and right side of the 3.

For the 10 role there are several options. Pogba is 1 but this would mean playing Matic or Fred with McTominay and I would prefer Pogba in that role for now.

Which leaves, Mata, Lingard, AP or Gomes. I would personally love to see Gomes but I not think he will start here, but will be our number 10 by the end of the season. I don’t think it will be AP and Mata is too slow and not industrious enough for this game. So i think it will be Lingard.

For the right side it will be James or Greenwood or potentially one of Rashford, Martial with James on the left.

I think Greenwood will start on the bench and come on late which leaves James,

And that’s our 11. :)
