The only way they get anything from this is if the ref gives it them or they duck out with a covid outbreak, UTV . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rare thing, a Villa victory at Old Trafford. I think the last time we were victorious there Gabby got the winner. A similar performance would be wonderful. You say that like you’re unsure like theres been many such occasions We all know its the one and only win at Old Trafford in the Premier League era we’ve only won twice at home against them In the PL. its an outrageous record. They arent even a bogey team, just chronic snot with lumps at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, They finished 3rd? Rashford isn't good enough now and he was in there team two years ago, but couldn't get a game with Lukaku being there. Sanchez was there as well , although he never really did it for them. I have watched them this year and they are flattered by their position. Chelsea are a far better team and Arsenal as well, believe it or not. Wolves were unlucky with the deflected goal . I will be disappointed if we don't beat them , I can't think of one of their players I would swap for ours , and most Man u fans I know agree . Records are there to be broken and we should hold no fears at all playing ManU, the only thing to watch for is poor referring which has bitten us before with ManU .

Rashford better now than he has been. Sanchez was terrible and their defence was even worse than it is now. Rashford, Fernandes, wan bassika are very good players indeed. Pogba too hit and miss. their squad isn’t terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Seems like some might be setting themselves up for a disappointment with some of these predictions, Manchester United are a good team, have taken more points than anyone else except for Liverpool and Man City since Solskjær was appointed, have actually taken more points than Liverpool since the restart. They're clear favorites to beat us, a draw would be a very good result. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I have seen them a few times this season. I honestly believe that we are better than them. We just need our energy and we beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 They will go level with Liverpool with a win after the same number of games. That could work for or against us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 United will be totally motivated for this game as they could go joint top. They will definitely up their performance levels from Wolves. We will have to be completely on it to get anything. I think 2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season they started brandon Williams, Andreas Periera, Juan Mata and Daniel James v us. Their attack and midfield balance is much better compared to 12 months back when they were struggling to score more than once a game (similar to Arsenal now). Defence already conceded 20 + this season so that's their weak point, quickly transition as we have been doing and gaps will open for us on the counter attack. Have to take our chances as that's long been a problem v them, even last season I can remember Jack being inches away from scoring a cross and then they scored a few minutes later.

Unfortunately, there will always be disappointment along the journey. At least this is now a team who can bounce back from such moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted December 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) For me, Barkley and Mings come straight back in with Hause and AEG getting dropped. Not dropped because of bad form, just purely for fresh legs and balance. Edited December 30, 2020 by PieFacE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
