Hello all. First post. Yes, I think Hargreaves in front of the back four so he can double up on Messi would a good idea for the away game. I have visions of Evra getting tied in knots by Messi, so Hargreaves with Vidic nearby will restrict their chances from that wing. But at OT we should be more adventurous and play total attack, with Tevez , Rooney and Ronaldo in attack.

I think scholes should get in the team as his ability 2 spread the play on a big pitch like the nou camp would be invaluable! and we will need hargreaves to break things up in the middle!!!

I have selected park on the left,, because he will run up andf down the wing all night and will track back and help evra, and make things a lot more difficult for messi than giggs or nani would!! bring nani on with 15 mins to go and really go for goals if we havnt already got some!!!

your thoughts???

Are you Fergie in disguise?!

Yeah, spot on mate.

A full-strength United squad, minus the injured Louis Saha, flew out to Barcelona on Tuesday morning ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League semi-final first leg.

The Reds will train at the collossal Nou Camp stadium on Tuesday night before taking on Frank Rijkaard's FC Barcelona the following evening (kick-off 19:45 BST).

All those involved in the weekend's draw with Blackburn Rovers travelled, as did Edwin van der Sar, Anderson and Owen Hargreaves, who all sat out the Rovers game due to minor injuries. Sir Alex has said he expects all three to be fit to face Barcelona.

Darren Fletcher, injured since late March, was among the 23-man party, as was club captain Gary Neville and youngster Danny Welbeck.

United squad: Heaton, Kuszczak, van der Sar; Brown, Evra, Ferdinand, Neville, Pique, Silvestre, Vidic; Anderson, Carrick, Fletcher, Giggs, Hargreaves, Nani, O'Shea, Park, Ronaldo, Scholes; Rooney, Tevez, Welbeck

messi is definately a quality player, however a lot of people are forgetting that evra is alo a quality defender and fullback!! i doubt if messi will have been up against a fullback of evra's class much this season!! and with a little help from, (whoever is doin left midfield) hopefully park, we should keep him quiet enough!!

altho we should make sure and stop him from cutting inside on his mazy runs!!
