Man Utd
Sunderland
- Michael Carrick and Robin van Persie are both sidelined and will miss the welcome of Sunderland.
- Other than that, Louis van Gaal has no further injury concerns.
- Antonio Valencia could start at right-back in place of Paddy McNair, while Ander Herrera will likely feature from the off in midfield once again.
- Emanuele Giaccherini is reportedly sidelined for the rest of the season with an ankle injury and will play no part here.
- Gus Poyet could be without doubtful duo Will Buckley and Billy Jones for the trip to Old Trafford.
- Patrick van Aanholt is expected to start at left-back, with Anthony Reveillere moving to right-back as a result.
Di Maria is Ozil two for Man United,if he keep playing like that he must be sold before a huge money loss.
@Farzad.- I have a bit of sympathy for Di Maria. He hasn't had a run of games in his best (and probably preferred) position of wide of the striker. Oezil hasn't been a perennial number 10 but has had a few chances to shine yet failed.
no penaly no party
30 shots, hahaha :v
gotta admit LVG, its nice seeing rooney as a striker for once
Evans with the captin band..... lol
Harsh red card for Brown imo. Yes he made a contact but it was when the foul was already made by O'Shea. It should have been a sending off for him imo.
@NotBiased Indeed unfair red card for brown. Now Utd should cruise
Bit awkward that Young is the best player on the pitch. some one who was loathed by Man U fans and is outshining all those big money players...
Di Maria looking closer to a 6m signing than to a 60m one...
oh well at least Man U aren't crap at all fronts. Good play by Valencia and Sunderland extremely lucky not to concede.
man u games are so ugly
Everytime we play with the 3-5-2 formation with evans in defence, i dont expect much. Am happy Herrera is playing
3-1, 2-0, 2-1 Man.U Banker?
0-0
1-1. it is clear
@Jomebi hum, could you explain? saying just 1-1 doesn't help much...
3,5менше
@BOLAT_1976 "менЬше" ;)
After the number of games where Man Utd have gotten away with having 1 of the worst defences in the league, it'd be typical of football that this is the game they concede 3 or 4. I can't see it happening though so will go with 2-0 Utd and at least 3 players to be played out of position or benched at the expense of a lesser player. ;-)
@SteveHyland I'd say they've got the worst defence of all sides competing for a decent place in the league. The only reason why they are getting away with it time and time again is that they've got undisputedly the best GK in the league.
@NotBiased- Definitely. De Gea has saved them so many points this season, if they had Lindegaard in goal, they'd be mid-table. Even with De Gea ingoal, they're due a thrashing though. They've got Man City and Chelsea in succession in the league in april...
well home form is admirable 13 games 10W/1D/2L Sunderland is going to give them some dificulties but i'm still sure united will win, cause if they don't win at home these games when are they going to win, specially since sunderland is in a bad run 2-0, 2-1
Man Utd 0-0 Sunderland
4-1
Utd nolonger has the winning appeal.. I wouldnt be suprised if sunderland got a draw at Old trafford
@erastus Fans of 19th century football would rejoice seeing both Long-Ball United and Sunderland.
@mbengue- Sunderland at least have the excuse there isn't much class in their team. No excuse for Man Utd playing like a bottom half championship team with multiple world class attackers in their squad. It doesn't help van Gaal messing around with the team formation and personnel every game. How can one hope to get a rhythm and understanding going if you don't have a settled team?!
@SteveHyland Exactly my point. LVG = The Architect of Long-Ball United.
@mbengue- Oh for sure, I wasn't disagreeing just slagging off van Gaal. Ha ha
20 times 20 times long-ball United 20 times 20 times I say 20 times 20 times long-ball United
@mbengue And yet they only 7% of their passes were long this game. They sat in the final 3rd and took 30 shots.
@Cheshire74 That's a nice achievement....against Sunderland.
