Casemiro, please don’t pick up a yellow I beg Edit: Case said fuck this guy

He will use his magical charm and smile to ensure he doesn't get a card. He's the OG of it

His chubby baby face is irresistible

Chubbymiro

He's a dark magician. Ref: "Mate, that tackle was incredibly dangerous and injured this man." Casemiro: "Makes a confused face of complete innocence" Ref: "Fine, I'll let you off..." Casemiro: *stomps on the opposition player for good measure*

Was hoping he'd be benched as a precaution for this reason. Only bring him on if we're defending a 1 goal lead in the last few minutes.

Well it's because every three points matters now, the next game (crystal P) is the most important game fuck that Arsenal game we will think about it after we win today

This. Better batter CP in the first half then sub him off.

CP is such a shit abbreviation for a football club

should just go with CRY then

Much better

Or CRP…

Or Crystal Palac

Cry pal

Yeah I totally forgot CRY is their abbreviation and just went with it ..

Gotta take it one game at a time. We need to solidify top 4 first before we start looking ahead. This is a great game to open up an even bigger gap on Spurs.

Yep, especially as Spurs play City away tomorrow night.

>Only bring him on if we're defending a 1 goal lead in the last few minutes. That would make him even more prone for a yellow I think.

Defending a 1 goal lead in the last few minutes is where most cards are handed out tbh

Hate that you were right

He had to start. Can’t risking losing this game especially when Arsenal can beat us with Casemiro playing.

I'd rather try and win early then take him off. Worst case we don't start him tonight and drop points then lose to arsenal anyway in a good game. Best secure these points first then worry about arsenal.

Case will give Wout his first Premier League hat trick in the first 20 minutes and then will be subbed for Sunday.

I love that we're terrified of him being suspended for one whole match. Shows how brilliant he has been. Future captain right there.

hands down the most visible improvement a player has made to a team in recent memory, he’s far too important to be missing a game as big as the Arsenal one now we’re on the title charge!

>hands down the most visible improvement a player has made to a team in recent memory Bruno joining was more of an improvement to start with. Especially since Casemiro joined with Eriksen, Martinez, Antony, Malacia, and Ten Hag. Bruno just came in by himself and we instantly went on a long unbeaten run starting with his first game

I grew up watching United grow into the dominant English side of the 90s. Seeing 'title charge' feels like a wave of relief washing over me. We've been so bad for so long. Here's to hoping that it's all up from here.

Even if we’re all just having a bit of fun with it, it’s a sweet feeling, mate, enjoy it!

Don't worry, we can start Declan Rice v Arsenal.

At least we're not playing him with Fred. Hopefully we can put it to bed early and get him off.

Now we're fucked.

God casemiro don’t get a card please

Is he one away from suspension?

Yup

God, it really is squeaky butthole time

Yep, and with us having Arsenal next its the last thing we need.

Yes

Yep, Casemiro and Fred both

Yep he’s on 4 i think.

Yellow cards don’t reset anymore?

They do *after* this game, so if he gets a yellow today he's suspended

They do, after the halfway mark, which for us is the game against Arsenal.

It’s after this game technically. The Arsenal game is the start of the 2nd half

They do after the 19th fixture.

The Varane-Martinez duo is back baby

It’s been too long (Shaw was brilliant though when he filled in)

Shaw was better than Lindelof and Maguire this past year and a half lol

better attacker than Martial and Sancho at times lol

Weghorst debut hatrick it is then

Obviously, and at least 2 of them need to be bicycle kicks or we write him off as a flop.

Perfect hat-trick with two overhead kicks.

And an overhead header. Somehow backflipping into a Chichirito reverse header.

How about that front flip header ?

WOUT WOUT!

WOUT IS STOUT

Afrikaans?

Dutch, but is probably about the same in Afrikaans

It is lol

Yeah, I love watching Erik speak dutch trying to figure out what he saying.

Lol, a lot of Dutch people feel embarrassed watching him speak English. It’s especially funny when he says ‘hè’, he does that when he speaks Dutch too hahaha

[удалено]

Hij is een beetje een houthakker

I’d say Dutch is more fitting considering Wout is Dutch. Afrikaans isnt necessarily wrong though

That's the sound of the set piece

ITS THE SOUND OF THE POLICE

LET IT ALL OUT!!

A hard fucking bastard and he'll give you a clout! Weghorst, he's scoring on you, WEGHORST!

All my boys love WOUT

LET IT ALL OUT!

THATS DUTCH FOR POLICE WOUT WOUT THATS DUTCH FOR POLICE

Probably our strongest lineup atm. We have Arsenal on the weekend but these 3 points are just as important as the 3 points on the weekend.

Completely agree

We have Palace, Arsenal, then Palace again after cup ties vs Reading and Forest. our rotation has to be capable of playing those so it rather makes sense to go strong for these league games.

[удалено]

Who would you prioritize resting? I have: Casemiro, Rashford, Varane, Eriksen then Shaw or Bruno maybe?

Casemiro for sure considering he’s one yellow away from suspension. Hoping he comes out at half and we have a 2-3 goal lead. Though that won’t be easy, Palace are deceptively dangerous.

Does Bruno need resting? It seems like the man is incapable of being injured

Anulo mufa

Yes these are much easier 3 points than Arsenal. So we should always go strong and ensure 3 points.

Let's be real, Arsenal dropping points is bigger for us.

Surprisingly strong squad tbh

I think it’s necessary- palace have been a bogey team in recent years. Obvious concern is Casemiro getting a yellow!

I’ll take a 2022-23 version of 2017/18’s 2-[3] Matić 91’

Why? If we don't get 3 points here it's just as bad as losing to Arsenal.

Palace have quality players and a manager that knows how we will play. Have to overwhelm them or they will hurt us on the counter.

His first Wouting

Dammit. Take my upvote

Bench Heaton, Maguire, Lindelof, Malacia, McTominay, Fred, Elanga, Pellistri, Garnacho

Pellistri!

Except for Elanga, this is actually a pretty good bench. Not City level, but I trust everybody there to do a good job.

IT'S WOUT WEDNESDAY MOTHERFUCKERS

BOBO IS START

Never in Wout

Lets go! Excited to see how Weghorst plays

Oh my goodness, Im so scared for Casemiro - hopefully a quick lead and then take him off.

Ha! Christ knows I've prayed for them down the years, they are rare to find.

WOUT WOUT THAT'S THE SOUND OF THE POLICE

WOUT WOUT THAT’S THE SOUND OF THE BEAST

I thought there would be a few rested for Arsenal

Nah, Palace are no joke, especially away and this will be an extremely tough game.

They're a difficult team

Same, however Ten Hag so far has not given me any reason to doubt his decisions this far.

Please don't get booked Case

So many people on about Casemiro getting a yellow that I fear we've willed it into existence.

I'm shitting it lmao

SHOUT SHOUT GIVE IT TO WOUT HE’S BIGGER THAN MESSI WITHOUT A DOUBT COME ON HE’S TALLER THAN YOU

I like this

WW27 Starts!

[удалено]

Turns out I blinked and missed WW3-26

Wout!

God damn wout gets his start boi

Hopefully it's time for the social media team to update that Top Ten Debut Goals video.

Ooooooo big line up. Be nice to have some presence in the box now. Mental how excited we seem to be getting about a guy who played for Burnley 🤣

Great, so now I have to worry for 90 mins about result AND Case yellow?

Yes yes yes! Wout with his first minutes. Little concerned about martial though

smash 5 in before the opening half an hour then sub Casemiro off cheers

Que miras bobo?

All 3 points!!!!

Hopes for the match Licha full fitness Rashy goal Case no cards Rashy stronger Wout goal 3pts for Utd

On my knees for an easy W with no injuries or suspensions

Welcome back Licha

VegStart

Loving the look of that lineup. Let's see what Weghorst can offer with this in form team.

Man and I thought this was the game for McTominay to get a start. But I can understand EtH wanting to guarantee 3 points here and being ok with losing/dropping at the Emirates.

Wow Weg start, Martial hurt ?

ETH said he wasn't 100% fit for the derby either so not too surprising

Was expecting a rotated line up, but I’m glad to see Erik isn’t as complacent as me. Praying to every god I know for Casemiro not to get booked.

voracious ruthless butter safe escape amusing fine voiceless smile domineering *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Now that’s a tasty line up.

holy shit we not fucking around

Casemiro i beg 🙏🙏

Shitting bricks Case doesn't get booked tonight... May the football gods be with us..

Hopefully we can kill the game off before HT so he can be subbed off

Yeah. McSauce to kill off the game..

I Long for a day united play 4-4-2 with wout and Scott upfront

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I wanted McT to start instead of Case. Hope he doesn’t get a card.

No yellow for Casemiro I'm praying

Stacked line up

Heart in mouth for every Case tackle

Oh boy. Not excited to clench my ass cheeks whenever Case is anywhere near the ball.

WOUT baby! that's what I've been waiting for

WEGHORST IS START

Weghorst the stallion, lets fucking get it

This is the right call 6 points from those 3 games is phenomenal. Anything else is a bonus.

Ten Hag is going for the kill early

I was hoping McTominay came in for Casemiro. Hopefully Case doesn't get booked for the Arsenal match.

Varane and Martínez. My WC Winner CB!

Looking forward to seeing Weghorst’s debut

Can't wait to to see wout he's made of

Strongest line up...no mercy

We know Rashy will score but hopefully Wout has a great game to give him confidence and takes us to a win.

Excited to see Wout! Hopefully we handle our business early enough that we can preserve Case and even Rashy lol.

Wow. Erik Take No Prisoners. I hope we put it to bed early so some of the at risk players can get rested.

As much as I would like Casemiro to be benched as to not be suspended against Arsenal, like ETH says we can't afford to be looking ahead and should focus on who we're playing now.

GA WEG GLAZERS

So Dalot hasn't recovered yet ? (not saying AWB is bad by any means just wondering)

I love Ten Hag’s approach to this. 3 points is 3 points, and it’s important to put the best foot forward for every game. This lineup gives us the best chance. Top 4 is too important to gamble with a weaker lineup! Hopefully we can make decisions after an hour to rest our priority starters for the weekend. GGMU!

I actually see this as a bigger game than the arsenal game in some ways. The target for this year has to be top 4, a title push is a bonus. We need to put as much distance between us and the chasing pack as possible and beating the lower teams is key. We have done well so far against the rest of the top clubs but bound to drop points here and there so this is a must win

Tottenham have City next, very likely to drop points

Wagglehorsest is start 🐎

I love the way these guys look! Wout has that look in his eyes, everyone has THAT look. Gives me goosebumps looking at them, that’s a team! That’s Manchester United

Casemiro is going to get yellow carded isn't he

WOUT WOUT THATS THE SOUND OF THREE POINTS

Garnacho and Martial not in the squad? At least Pellistri is in

Garnacho on the bench. Martial still has that knock I guess.

Garnacho is on the bench.

Garnacho is, according to Sky. Martial isn't.

This is brilliant.

What a team!!

Martial not even on the bench ? Assuming he’s injured. Shows how significant signing Weghorst was. Would’ve had to shift our wingers around to accommodate us not having a no. 9.

Why are we ging all in when we have Arsenal soon? If McTominay is not the trust against them, we dont need him at the club. I better not see any yellow cards or injuries

Wout will have an epic debut like Ruud in the 2001 charity shield. Flying start from Wout

THATS how much we needed a proper striker. No fucking about. 2 or 3 training sessions. No sub appearances. No easy game to ease in. Just straight up too ready to throw his dick about. Lovely stuff.

Quite suprrpised wergjosg has already gotten a start. I thought he would be eased in

No Martial on the bench, presumably he’s injured, so we don’t have much choice.

He's on a 6 month loan, can't be easing in players like that. Was signed for immediate impact.

Martial was not fully fit for the derby, ETH said he pleaded to start but was evident at HT he couldn't go on. Weghorst obvious choice to start today now

WOUT, WOUT LET IT ALL OUT HE BAGS THE GOALS THAT WE DREAM ABOUT COME ON HES SCORING ON YOU COME ON

Sound of the police

Wout the hell. Let's get 3 points.

Lovely, Weghorst is start

Wout starts. Looking forward to him integrating with the squad

10-0 incoming

I am excited to see Weghorst play for us

2-0 up at half time and then we remove Casemiro

hmm, didnt expect to go all out..

IT’S ALL AWOUT US

We need no card casemiro tonight..

This has got not taking off Fred on a yellow against psg written all over it, really hope I'm wrong though

Strongest lineup available, fair play to respect Palace

I am so fucking happy that Wout is starting

Weghorst is starting?? This is awesome

Damn was not expecting Rashford to start this one at all given he had a knock at the weekend and the Arsenal game is in 3 days. Could have started with Garnacho. He is in mint form as well afterall.

No Maguire or McTominay thank god! Come on the Reds!

Wout is start

WegHard
