Perfect time for Usain Bolt to sign for ManU.

Let’s revisit this topic after the game. None is the 3 midfielders is comfortable with the ball or able to dictate the tempo or control a game.
I wish them goodluck but I am not convinced

I haven't said we will win with this formation and the players the coach has chosen. It's a bold move and I see the logic here. We may not win but it makes sense to line up the team this way against this opponent.

Ronaldo can come in and sneak in some damage

We're excited for Rangnick, don't be shocked when he drops any of your favorite

slimghost:
This Carrick seems to be a bigger loser than Ole. Hope this parking of trailer works for the Imp.

I read that the new coach has been calling him and helping to prepare for today

Oasis007:
Lineup

This lineup is a steaming pile of pure fuvcking sewage.

The lineup is tailored for a physical play. I can still see Jones in the bench

Are you saying this lineup is basically from Sir Ragnick Abi Ragnarok?
Hemebelembe!

This lineup looks like Rangnick though, not Carrick.

Pressing FC. We hope it works.

Joezinho:


We are now 10th On the log table..

We would have genuinely finished bottom third if stuck with Ole Gollum the entire season..

na normal thing till Ole revival happen, and na around this time Ole revival dey occur but as una don sack

elampiro:

I see no intelligence around that decision really. More or less to just gets legs around to stiffen Chelsea’s attack and transition.
We are basically playing 3 holding midfielders who can barely contribute anything going forward.
I support the team though. GGMU!

CrystalTiger:


The only problem na Matic really..Does he have the legs to cover more ground?..

VDB for dey there and alow Mctom to sit deep..

That’s why he’s surrounded by McFred and Bruno.

His role is more of bringing stability to the defense, especially when you realize that Bailly and Lindelof are the defenders.

Nezzjnr:
Lineup

Even Rashford looks confused in d photo.

No Ronaldo

Lol Matic to press, them for start Mata instead na, or Lingard instead of Rashford, even greenwood would have been better starting instead of Sancho


This match fit just end goaless

I saw the below tweet been spread around
...
Ralf Rangnick is working alongside Michael Carrick virtually in order to prepare the #MUFC players for the game against Chelsea. He offered his expertise on Thursday and has advised the staff on how they should set up against the league leaders.

We should stop doing test practice pressing against big teams.

See versus Liverpool we chop 4-0 for first half..

Pressing destroyed in the first 20 minutes..

I don't understand..

See As Carrick get guts wey ole no get

Ronaldo Suppose Dey rest for some games make we no lie ,he can’t be playing all games

Some Man U fans will rant here as usual

But Mctominay no need rest?

Carrick press conference

Still feels like a player.. Not ready to coach at all judging from press conference

Just a quick reminder: Fred and McTom are naturally occurring number 8s

Playing both as DMs na out of their natural position


Let's have faith for it might werk

It's a sensible decision.

Ronaldo scores goals.

But if you watch him closely, you'll notice he offers nothing else apart from that.

The thing is that scoring goals, if it comes at the expense of a thin, easily exposed midfield, is futile.

That's why playing Ronaldo with Bruno is like suicide.

That being said, it being a sensible decision, doesn't mean it will avoid defeat.

Exactly.

There's Greenwood too.

Bruno actually replaced Ronaldo.

Why did Carrick bench Ronaldo? Why now?

Such a wise Manager.

In this game, Matic is the DM while the other 2 are b2b midfielders.

Helps with pressing though buildup may suffer.

I suspect De Gea will hoof it upfield for most of the game.

Complaints just full ground. Wetin don spoil don spoil. There is no formation or line-up that would guarantee success in the match so siddon look mode should be activated.

That's because it was an uncoordinated effort.

Well, if things were done right, the team would have had at least a month to prepare for today’s match.

At this point, no one is sure of what will actually work. We’re however fortunate to have all the tools we need bar a young defensive midfielder.

Fred might just turn out a key player if this gengenpress thing works, especially now that he’s being pushed up the field. Can’t say same for some big boys.

As Leyqute mentioned, we used to press by roster before. This looks like it’ll be more coordinated.

Lingard ahead of sancho swears.

Ole did get tons of abuse from resting CR against Villa. So lets keep the same energy. Carrick I don't believe is doing anything different to Ole.

Anything to curb Chelsea’s midfield and wingbacks is highly welcomed.

This team is set up to keep Chelsea at bay and not to win a game. I will never be down with such mindset.
