Forzaaaaaaaaa.
Who's still out for this one?
I only want Calabria and Kjaer back.
Rebic
Krunic - Diaz - Saele
Kessie - Meite
Theo/Dal - Tomori - Kjaer - Calabria/Kalulu
Donna
Hakan, Tonali, Samu to re-energize the team in the 2nd half.
Ibra in if we're still chasing goals at the end.
Just no more fecking Theo-Dalot combo again....
You guys are definitely favourites. I doubt Pogba starts as he's missed about 9 weeks and all of our forwards are out of form which leaves us relying on Bruno magic.
I expect to see something like;
---------------Henderson-----------------
AWB------Bailly------Maguire------Telles
-----------McTom------Fred--------------
Greenwood-----Bruno--------Rashford
------------------Martial------------------
With Pogba and Cavani on the bench. But who knows. Maybe Shaw since he is first choice LB - it depends how Ole wants to prioritise since we have Leicester in the FA Cup at the weekend.
I can see it being 0-0 or 1-0 to Milan, just because our forwards can't hit a barn door with a banjo atm. But....we are much better away from home. We've actually had record breaking results this season - it's been at home where we play like a pub team.

Isn't it better to let Krunic play his natural position at AM and rather switch Diaz to LW? Judging by the latest Krunic LW experiment I wasn't very impressed.
I'd actually consider Saele LW and Samu RW. We don't need this game to be pretty, but a solid first XI defensively could prove crucial.
why not rebic on lw?? krunic and leao play a lot lately and we have important game to win in serieA in sunday.

Rebic LW......who would be the CF?
Leao has fitness problems and shouldn't be starting anyway.
Ibra just got back, and we tend to be more solid defensively and better at countering with Rebic up front.
He'll be needed if Manure get the first goal and then park a bus.
Switch Krunic and Diaz and sign me up.I only want Calabria and Kjaer back.

I didn't like the KrunicLW-DiazCAM combination either at first.
It failed miserably against Lille.
However a lot of things have changed since then.
Krunic improved, Hakan's form went to shit after COVID and the Krunic-Diaz combo worked in the first leg.
Rade was the 3rd man we needed in midfield, and the extra defensive cover we need to offset a liability like Dalot or Theo.

You've never faced a back-4 where Dalot and Theo constitute 2/4 of it.
United's forwards tend to miss open goals this season so you could be fine
That's a shame Dalot hasn't impressed.
Shows that you didn't watch the first leg where we performed slightly better than ManU. The conditions will be relatively better for us in the second leg. So, logically we will have more than 50% chance of winning.United are definitely favourites.
Better away from home, superior form coming into the match, better squad, fewer injuries.
Milan have an away goal but that is pretty much it in terms of things actually going our way.
In any case, we do have a chance and a decent one at that but we are not favourites.
I'd say it's 30/70.
