I understand why some say "rest players tonight as the Europa Cup final is more important" but to me beating Liverpool is also important. I always want to beat them. If it damages their Champions League chances even more so.

Ole will go full strength tonight. Say what you like about him but he is red through and through and knows what tonight means.

You can't start resting players 13 days before the final. Players must have match sharpness I think. Ofcourse today we must give our all and play at full strength.

Harry Maguire looks like he might miss the EL final, are you prepared to risk Bruno, Cavani or Rashford picking up an injury keeping them out of the EL final just to try to win a game against Liverpool that won't actually impact our season.

On one hand we could play our strongest line up, win the game and not lose any players to injury.

On the other we could play our strongest line up, lose the game and lose a key player to an injury keeping them out of our most important game of the season.

At the end of a long season with 3 games in 5 days our players are probably at their most vulnerable to picking up an injury right now.

Forget Liverpool and what there season means, I'm a Manchester United supporter, we need to have a big club mentality if we want to be a big club. Risking players ahead of our biggest game of the season (and our only chance of glory this season) just for one-up-manship is ridiculous.

Truth is regardless of tonight's result the chances are that we will finish 2nd and Liverpool will finish outside the top 4.

Risking our chances of glory to kick a rival while they are down is the epitome of having a small club mentality.

If its a friendly against Liverpool you want to win it. Best team out for me all day long.

Herrera, I disagree, now is the ideal time to rest players. They are about to play their third game in 5 days. Or their 4th game in 8 days, if you include the Europe League semi-final which they had to travel to Rome for.

After tonight's game they still have a game against Fulham on the 18th (5 days time), a game 5 days after that on the 23rd against Wolves then the Europa league final 3 days after that on the 26th. For which they will have to travel to Gdansk.

At this stage of the season and without being privy to the players fitness levels I would rest several key players tonight, play our strongest side against Fulham, then rest a few against Wolves. Probably only playing our first choice defence (minus Maguire) in every game so that they can get used to playing together in case Maguire doesn't make it.

No such thing as a friendly against Liverpool 🤣.

@shappy, I whole-heartedly disagree with you!

Injuries could happen in training sessions as well. We ARE a big club and beating Liverpool (regardless of the table) is just one of the small joys of being a fan! Never should any manager or powers that be deny us that, in the hopes that this can happen or that won't happen.

Also, I am vehemently against the negative approach of being fearful.

Not doing everything you can to win every game is the epitome of a small club mentality. Let’s beat Liverpool and win the EL.

Nobody that started 2 days ago will start tonight with the exception of bailly.
That's my guess.
So
Hendo awb shaw lindelof mcfred bruno rash cavani pogba will all start if fit and available. Strongest team. Last time they will play together before the final.
Its not a case of not testing players you can't ask player to play twice in 48 hrs.
If Someone gets injured so be it.

I would go full strength even if it was the relegated Fulham. You can't rest players 13 days before the final and you can't make losing a habit. We must go out attack them and win.
We must not relax because even worst than the tiredness is relaxing and think that the season is over and qe only have one match in EL final. If you relax now you can't just push a button and be ready at the final.

When you play contact sports you run the risk of injury every time you set foot on a pitch. May that be a muscle injury or impact. Professionals have an army of physio’s and sports scientists working with them, they won’t play unless they’re deemed capable too.

So full strength tonight and get the win.

I wouldn't worry about it lads, good chance the game will be called off again.

Apparently protesters blocked the Liverpool coach and slashed the tyres.

More protesters already at Old Trafford now than was there last time, and we are over an hour away from kick off. More and more heading down there as we speak.

If they have to cancel it a second time that really will send a message. Also the FA would almost certainly award the game to Liverpool.

{Ed014's Note - and rightly so, moronic pricks, it’s football, there’s a pandemic, people’s lives are still at risk, stay at home. Pathetic.

If i were Bruno, i wouldn't want to play for such fans. You made your point, you were heard. You keep doing it, i m out. Mind you, United are a private property and not some govt that you voted for.
