Just need 1 point to secure a top 4 place finish now and 4 points to finish 2nd. I'd expect big rotation for the Leicester game on Tuesday.
That would be a strange thing to do when the title race isn't over yet.
Would never have happened in Fergies time, he would have kept going right until the end.
Man United have different standards now though granted.

Player welfare is the main focus and the FA/Premier league showed no regard to it.  Its not possible to play that amount of games in short space of time without rotation. Ferguson himself faced a simliar schedule towards the end of the 1991/92  season and it basically handed the league title to Leeds.

The Premier league should have used the their common sense to move the now relegated West Brom v Liverpool game forward and then play Man United v Liverpool on May 15th/16th and that way it would have allowed United to field a strong 11 against Leicester and likely beat them.

Maybe the fans shouldn't have rioted and then none of this would have been problem 🤷

And then you have the likes of EC Unique who is happy for them to send out the ressies cause he 'likes' the Brodge!

Surely as slim a chance as there is, you need to go for it regardless?

None of this would have been a problem if the owners didn't increase the anger of its supporters with their super league plans.

In other news Cavani signed up for another year.

It'll be a strong team, some players need game time
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I'd be surprised if its not a bit of mix and match both nights. No big need now to prioritize one fixture over the other? Although there mightn't be a match Thursday night so maybe play them all tomorrow

snoopdog

Empty the bench for tomorrow give leicester the points and them go hell for leather thursday night.  :D

As I expected big rotation for tonights game.

              D De Gea,
Williams, Bailly, Tuanzebe, Telles,
         Matic, Van de Beek
       Amad, Mata Elanga
             Greenwood

Bailly, Greenwood the only two that might start again on Thursday.

FFS. Why don't they just give them the walkover? ;D

That means City are champs if Leicester win.

Amazing lack of ambition shown by Man United.

Not even parking the bus either. None of those lads are bad players and any one or two of them could come in to our first team and be decent, but 10 changes at once is huge. That's the difference between us and City, they could make huge changes and barely notice a drop off.

Fairly even game, no problems with the fringe players at the minute
