    Have Martial and Traore with 1ft but Dendo/Holgate bench. Replacing Martial seems sensible if needed - but...

    A. Play Traore
    B. Play Holgate
    C. Play both

    My own personal guess for what’s its worth, as non owner, is martial will just be rested not injured. Ole will have wanted to give Ighalo a start after good 1st leg result and has Greenwood to come on if they needed a goal. He is injury prone so probably just precautionary. Priority still top 4 for United

          Bennerman you are being ridiculous now. I am a united fan who cheers them ALL on every game. Yeah that’s was his best moment but there had been very few. When you compare him to the untied midfielders of past he is just not good enough it’s as simple as that. He has 2goals and 1assist in this season. The assist just arrived tonight against a 10man Brugge and it was a simple pass.

            I'm not being ridiculous, I'm just bringing some perspective on a player who has 200 games for the club and some great moments. I didn't say anything about comparing him to midfielders of the past or anything, I'm saying he's not utterly rubbish as you are intimating.

              Yeah I admitted that I exaggerated, league two player was harsh. He is 27 and has been at the club for years though with quality players around him so you would expect some good moments. Never mind comparing him to past united midfielders then, compare him to the starting XI of the other sides in the league.

                Fine, that's the thrust of what I was getting at. That blithely saying he's a third-tier player is just nonsense and not smart or helpful. Which you've fessed up too, cool.
