Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Fantasy managers have just one match to entertain us this evening as United play their final home game of what has been a tumultuous first campaign of the post-Ferguson era. Ryan Giggs’ brief tenure as interim-manager of the Red Devils has already served up an impressive hammering of Norwich before Sunderland quickly burst the bubble of optimism last weekend:

Giggs makes as many as eight alterations from the side that lost to the Black Cats, with the Welshman joinging the likes of Nemanja Vidic, Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie on the bench. Once again, the hosts are without Wayne Rooney, who has failed to recover from the illness and/or groin problem that saw him miss the Black Cats clash.

Steve Bruce makes five changes for visitors Hull – with their top-flight survival now secured, the Tigers manager’s teamsheet clearly has one eye on the upcoming FA Cup Final clash against Arsenal.

Our Twitter feed carries all the news from tonight’s team sheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to collect your real-time reactions to this evening’s events.

    Seriously, not just speaking as a Mata(c)er, but this is Utd s last home game if the season

    They have a 40 MILLION pound midfield maestro on the bench and the old man(who has been given a dream job for a few games) plays HIMSELF

    This must be deliberate? Makes bringing in Van Gaal seem genius?!

            Sorry didn't see it. If Moyes was Manager he'd have brought Giggs on too. It's all a bit OTT to be honest. He's not getting the job and stated he would give everyone a chance. If this was the Capital One cup no one would raise an eyelid, yet this game is even less important.

              That's my point :
              Every game for Utd should be important , I get the Capitol 1 cup thing but you have to have an outlet for younger players to come on , the league tho should be treated with respect by all teams tho amazing how they made an example of Mick McCarthy at wolves a few seasons ago but typical (like uefa with City / etc) the league won't take on the big boys ,
              I suppose I am frustrated .... It has been a frustrating season not only as an FPL player but as a United supporter it's been absoloutly chronic.
