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.

                I have no idea. Arsenal won't play their first team, Norwich might be relegated by then. It really depends how punty you want to be. There are probably better picks.

    We are all looking at the line ups from a fantasy perspective and rightfully feeling that its all a bit ridiculous.
    But...
    Is this not a fitting way in which to introduce one or two of the most exciting young prospects at the club. Wilson and Lawrence, givien their break by the class of 92.
    De Gea, Jones, Smalling, Januzaj and Wilson could well be part of this united side for the next decade and its great to see a couple of the guys tonight getting their debuts.
