Carling Cup returns, and its Boro who face the Red Devils at Old Trafford.


United are expected to line out a weakened team based on previous seasons, and likely names to be in the mix include,

• Kusczak
• Fabio
• Rafael
• Evans
• Brandao
• Eckersley
• Cleverly
• Macheda
• Gibson

amongst others. Some are thinking that Berbatov may play to boost his match
fitness after a knee scare earlier in the week.

United exited the competition at this stage last season to a tireless Coventry so
Fergie will be aiming to capitalise on last seasons efforts and return to the
feelings of 2006 when United last lifted the trophy.

The Devils have only ever got their hands on the Carling Cup on 2 occasions!

 

[Dazza]

I would play the following team :

Kuzsack

Rafael Evans Brown Fabio/Eckersley


Nani Anderson Possebon / Gibson Welbeck



Manucho Berbatov/Tevez

BTW Is there any link for the match ? Or is it even on Tv ?

 

[Because I'm DC]

Not the easiest of ties although we should have enough to grab the win, since we're at home.

I'd like to see us play this team: Kuszczack, Neville, Brown, Evans, Da Silva (which ever is a left-back- I forgot), Ronaldo, Gibson, Anderson, Nani, Rooney, Berbatov.

Bench: A keeper (excuse my knowledge of the youth team, I believe Heaton is on loan at Cardiff so Zieler maybe?), Da Silva, Possebon, Tevez, Manucho.

This is a good mix of youth and experience which should help us progress, avoiding humiliation like we had last year. Giving starts to Neville and Berbatov could help their confidence, especially with Berbatov making his home debut, hopefully he can grab a goal or two.

Manucho can have half an hour or so hopefully. I'm eager to see what he can do.

 

[christianoharleiro]

I'd like to see

Kuzsack

Rafael Neville Evans Fabio

Nani Anderson Possebon Giggs? (as he hasn't played much)

Manucho Berbatov

 

[(q8-manutd)]

[Keano!]

Will Manucho play in Tuesday ???
Hope so....possibile

And why Brown didn't play against chelsea i thought he is injury but he is in the bench ???
I was surprised too...but the back 4 were great today IMO

Thanks

Hope that answers ya!

 

[Wazza8719]

My team would be:

PIG.

Brown - Evans - Vidic - O´shea.

Ronaldo - Anderson - Hewson - Nani.

Welbeck - Berbatov or Manucho.

Subs: Zieler, R.Eckersley, Gibson , Possebon, Brandao.

That would be a good team, i hope that Hewson and Welbeck play for this game is good for them to show what they can.

[antdevil78]

what is record for most empty seats at a united game as this could be really empty

ticket prices for this game that are now on general sale are ludicrous

 

[Keano!]

lol....last season was terrible...coventry


We should have every ticket for anywhere in the ground...


Adult £10
Child (6-16) £5
OAP's (65+0 £6
Kids (0-6) Free


Why not? Fill the place and get the money...every little helps

It would cost me £40 .....Its a shameful figure really....

 

[RichardsReds]

Are tickets £10?

 

[ManUtd19]

The prices of the tickets aren't realistic. Who is United trying to kid?

Nice Calring Cup banner there...

Lineup I want:

----------------Kuszczak----------------
--Rafael----Evans----Vidic----Fabio--
-Ronaldo-Anderson-Possebon-Nani [Sub youngsters in 2nd half]
------------------Tevez/Welbeck-------
----------Manucho---------------------- [Berbatov if Manucho can't]

 

[Keano!]

Are tickets £10?

No...if only!

Cheapest for an adult is £26 in the West Lower....God!


I'm off to orgainse tickets to Hull City! lol...

 

[RichardsReds]

I like the look of that team ManUtd19

 

[RichardsReds]

No...if only!

Cheapest for an adult is £26 in the West Lower....God!


I'm off to orgainse tickets to Hull City! lol...

pff i'd have driven up if they were £10. Not worth the effort though really with work next day etc.

 

[antdevil78]

why not give the chance for fans who wouldnt get to a league game chance to go.

£10 per ticket and fill the place. May as well rather than it being half empty.

P.S You cant beat a nice pint of calring can you

 

[TheManc]

I'm actually looking forward to this match. We've had loads of real 'pressure matches' recently so this is a game I can actually enjoy.

Anyway my team would be:


-------------------------PIG------------------------

--Rafael-------Brown------Evans------O'Shea--

--Nani-----Possebon-----Anderson----Giggs--

------------------Tevez----Wellbeck--------------

Subs: Amos, Fabio, Vidic, Fletcher, Gibson, Macheda, Rooney

 

[Clarky101]

anyway id like

pig
raf da silva neville brown fabio da silva

park (ronaldo second half) o'shea fletcher (hargreeves at 70mins) giggs

Manucho Wellbeck (bebatov 70mins)

 

[Jay007]

I wish somebody would just come out and say "Manucho has a (insert injury here) and will be out for approx. (insert amount of time here)." {Although that might be pointless because he might be back REALLY soon }

The only person from the club whos said anything about Manucho was David Gill, who said that Manucho had a slight injury.

I hope hes back soon, because I think he'll be a great player for us, and I've said all summer that I'm more excited about seeing him play for us than a potential new signing, and I stand by that.

As for Brown, I have no idea why Sir Alex wouldn't pick him. Only he knows that.

Hes done nothing wrong performance-wise, and should have played today (Even though Neville did quite well) but hopefully they haven't had a fall-out.

 

[Jazz 16]

Nice. I love it when a game comes so quick after the last.
Should be an interesting game. Im sure Boro will take it more
seriously than us. This cup is a great way to try out the youngsters
an see what they are made of. Im looking forward to seeing Manucho
in action as well as the young Brazilians.
I can see this being a draw, which wouldnt be ideal, but its a United game
so Ill look forward to it. I just hope Fergie puts a few first teamers out
or even Ronaldo to get more games under his belt.
