Willing to bet you one English pound that all of Caicedo, Mac Allister and Mitoma won't be sitting on the bench as we kick-off on Thursday night.
For me I would start Gilmour alongside Caceido with Mac pushed forward into the no.10 role. Billy’s performance yesterday deserves that opportunity. Colwill in for Webster.
James Milner hasn’t signed yet, so best we stick with our current midfield options.
I was just about to say the same. Might sound crazy, but Mitoma was kept quiet in the semi and we need him to be fresh for other games. Plus it's great to have him as a sub if needed.
Exactly this
Given how they've played of late, I don't think Webster-Colwill is open to question, for all sorts of reasons (keeping the shirt, form, assisting the slow Gross against Rashford, etc). The other one is incredibly tough, but I'd probably retain Gilmour, in order for us to have more attacking talent to come off the bench. Fergie ought to be available anyway but will probably bench either Enciso or Mitoma, and bring them on after about an hour.
Wouldn't want Mitoma reverting to his role as 'impact sub' under Plodder. He's the real deal and will run ManU's slow-witted defence ragged. He's had his rest period now. Enciso's still a bit of a very raw wild card at the moment and important to keep his feet on the ground for now. Maybe chuck him on as a bit of a wild card later in the game if need be. Trust in RDZ to do the right thing either way. What a fantastic team selection headache to have!
f*** knows but I’d hazard a guess that RDZ has some more sleepless nights coming up
