Can't wait for Sunday. Great win in preparation last night.

We played well against them last time so hope we can build on that.

Having nightmares about Sanchez though!
 
David v Goliath tonight:

Richard Money has refused to allow Cambridge United’s players to exchange shirts with the opposition at half-time in tonight’s FA Cup fourth-round tie against Manchester United. The Cambridge manager says that his players will not have another shirt to put on if they do swap at the interval and has warned his players that they will have to buy replacement kit out of their own pockets, even if they swap after the final whistle.

Cambridge have only two shirts with squad numbers for every first-team player.

Cambridge’s annual budget of £1.1 million would not pay Radamel Falcao or Wayne Rooney’s wages for a month, while the home side’s highest-paid player takes home £1,500 a week. The £500,000 that Cambridge are due to make this evening will help to confirm the future of a club who went close to liquidation when they narrowly avoided relegation from the Conference four years ago. Security would be a legacy for Chadwick to be particularly proud of.

I hope we don't see 3-5-2 again.

"I know all the statistics," said the United boss. "I know that with 4-4-2 the stats are giving the positive results.

"We have won more with 4-4-2 in a diamond, but when you analyse the game then we have twitched our ass on the bench.

"I said to my players I was squeezing my ass, but it was the wrong expression. I have twitched my ass on the bench because we were out of balance.

"When you go back to the press conference at the time I have said that, we are not in balance.

"All the matches when we play 4-4-2, like against West Ham United, I was always twitching my ass and I don't like it."

hmm sure...

goes on to blame the players like i said he would:

But Van Gaal, who has managed some of the biggest clubs in the world in Barcelona, Ajax and Bayern Munich, did concede his stars still haven't grasped the 3-5-2 system.

He added: "They are still not comfortable. That is very important, that they are comfortable.

Looks more likely to be 4 at the back, but not sure...

Strong team either way, hope it goes well. :p

That's how I read it too

Personally think that midfield is a disaster waiting to happen, Fellaini who can barely control a pass and Januzaj who is totally un match fit

and no idea why LvG agreed to Herrera being bought if he never intended to start / play him.

Well probably because of Utd's dodgy defence / centre halfs lol

Wonder if this means Perriera is on his way out? As he didn't get a part here, is he ever going to get a game before the end of his contract in the summer....

I agree! Crazy that he seems to rate Fellaini above him.
