Our first team will say a lot about our new manager, will he leave CR7 on the bench with Martial injured, will he play McFred, Maguire and Lindleof? For me CR7 in on the bench, he's missed pre season and has only played 45mins. Midfield is tough one is Ericsen up to starting?, we are at home first game, so l play him with Fred, at the back both new players should start, with Dalot and probably Maguire as, he has done well in preseason. Really looking forward to the game, OT will be rocking, perfect first game for us, at home, against Brighton who will play football too. Predicting a positive start and a 3 nil victory.

Really does not matter how we line up. Looking forward to seeing us play well and win. I think we are not as desperate and bad as some here make it out including some of the eds:) let's go.

I think we will win but also don’t think this is the type of game that will define our season. Are things bad given Nothing Changes comment? No they are not. However if the club have ambition of making top 4 they need Ronaldo gone, a CM and goal scorer in CF. If the rumours that the Glazers want to keep Ron are true it’s for marketing and sponsors only.

I know I will get the usual comments but the club need to be aiming higher. We have heard the build will take years every time a new manager arrives. Yes he will be given time and so he should but his ambition must burn through to getting players in. So far it seems only those he trusts via direct connection are coming in, like he wants to have those he trusts around him having seen the bunch of backstabbing players last season.

I like Erikson he must play and I want to see Garnacho get time, even start. Brighton can be awkward and whilst we lack firepower up front and through midfield, an early season home game with the crowd behind ETH should see us win, possibly 3.1 . It shouldn’t hide what is needed in the transfer window in the coming weeks if we want top four.

I think Ten Hag will be forced to start CR7 upfront as we seriously lack goal scoring options up front.

Also, Brighton have a huge void to fill with the sales of Cucurela and Bissouma.

I'd start him on the bench. I'd go with Bruno as a false 9 with eriksen at 10 and rashford and sancho on the wings or rashford up top with garnacho and sancho on the wings.

Too much pressure on Garnacho if we start him. I'd rather he comes on around the 60th minute, scores not withstanding. Rashford as a 9 and 3 of Fred, Bruno, Eriksen, Iqbal and McT in midfield.

I don't think the starting 11 will tell us much about EtH at all.

He picks the players he has available, everyone has a clean sheet, and hopefully will be picked on form and not reputation.

I highly doubt the typical starting 11 will stay the same throughout the season. I expect to see at least,2 or 3 different faces playing in our final game as to those who start our first.

I'm far more interested in how we play rather than who starts. I don't really care what the name on the back of the shirt is, it's the name on the front I support.

For me I don't care if it's Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Martial or whoever. If they play well with desire and fight, and contribute to us winning games and titles then I'll happily cheer them on.

I don't agree unruly. I actually think the opposite. it will show him he's valued and he'd have confidence that the manager rates him. I'm not saying he's a starter every week but for this game with having players not upto fitness or with injuries why not? I'd rather him start then a player that doesn't want to be here.

I don't care who plays I don't even care about the result. I want to see 11 players in a United shirt trying to play a system and giving everything thier all. Finally I want to see a team out their pulling for each other and fighting for each other.

I have faith that if we show those three things this season we will make a giant step forward this year.

I am loving EtH press conference. Back to the no nonsense answers and lack of tolerance to loaded questions.

Hopefully this translates onto the pitch and we go back to the United way.

Can’t see any reason to be pessimistic at this point.

Bring on the season!

Keefy, apart from rubbish defence, no midfield, and no central forwards. The rest is great.

The defence will improve, Martinez will play Left Centre back and Maguire and Varane will fight it out for Right Centre back, Malacia and Shaw will compete for left back, Dalot will cover right back, and I suspect we will go for Timber after the World Cup to cover right back with a view to him ending up in Central defence in a few years.

Midfield has two decent playmaker and a few box to box players, we just need that DM to complete it.

Up front is where we suffered last year, the front three need to be scoring consistently with help from the midfield and defenders, if we can start scoring as a team then things will improve.
