Guardiola's Barcelona has never lost a game played on the 28th day of a month: 4W - 1D - 0L #fcblive

Rumours around the Wembley press box that Sir Alex has "sprung a major surprise" in his team selection. Something that would make you gasp.

What do you think?

 

[Ode to Django]

i think Obertan will start

 

[Bergkamp10]

What do you think?

About the surprise? Not sure, maybe Berbatov upfront by himself and Rooney behind? Or Giggs not playing? The guy who reported it is a Manchester United fan and reporter who's always spot on with team selections.

 

[Phatroonaldo]

What do you think?

He's dropped hernandez, starting with 5 men in midfield. Or He's playing the 3-4-3 formation with smalling at the back or he's decided to put smalling on the pepe role.

 

[Galning]

I think Piqué will play for Man U again.

 

[UEFA_Barça_Chris]

Pedro is not injured..

thanks, I'm very nervous and any set-back before the game will upset me and panic...Need to calm down! :unwell2:

I will tell you what he did:

van der Sar
Fabio Smalling Ferdinand Evra
Vidic
Carrick Giggs
Rooney
Hernandez

 

[Galning]

United will play 4-5-1 or 5-4-1 no doubt.

I will tell you what he did:

van der Sar
Fabio Smalling Ferdinand Evra
Vidic
Carrick Giggs
Rooney
Hernandez

My thoughts exactly! With Vidic in the Pepe rol

 

[impeh]

RUMOURRR has it, Hernandez dropped for fletcher

 

[Ode to Django]

4-5-1 i reckon doubt Hernande will start

 

[Bergkamp10]

Its difficult to pick a team tonight for United. 4-4-1-1 has been successful for them and Hernandez+Rooney are a fantastic partnership. But going with 2 in midfield against Barca is suicide and Rooney as the third midfielder means he won't be able to influence the game as he would if he was upfront. Tough but I'd probably start 4-5-1, try and keep it tight and then hope Barcelona tire, bring on Hernandez and Nani and counter them as Barcelona attack as Arsenal did in the 2-1.

But I don't think United's midfield is strong enough, they have a lot of heart and fight but ultimately I think Xavi and Iniesta will have a lot of fun against whoever United put out in the middle. Arsenal beat Barcelona because they had a strong midfield and United haven't got 2 players of Fabregas or Wilshere's quality in the center.
