      Don't like Mac for a hit. Free is okay, as a bit of protection.

      Who would you play Mac over? Surely better to jsut start Mitoma whoever that'd be if you were leaning that way.

      Maybe. It all depends on who Howe wants to play at left wing. Might be too soon for an ASM start and Gordon hasn't impressed, which means Isak is an option out wide.

      I think Isak starts, but it's just where, and whether that leaves the space for Wilson as central striker.

    We don't have anything on rashford other than yesterday's ten hag quote, do we?

    He didn't categorically rule him out, although said he is a major doubt.

    On that basis I think it is the obvious move to start him in your 11 - he is unlikely to be benched and come on for a cameo if not fit.

    Unless you don't have sufficient cover on your bench. I think he is worth saving for the double + more updates

        Even that wouldn't confirm it - we learnt that after the fernandes episode.

        Sometimes managers do actually say "player x is out for saturday" or "unavailable". Mourinho used to use terminology like "doubtful" every week and then diego Costa would stride out onto the pitch and score a brace and not get booked...that's a different story!

    Own Mac Mitoma and March,

    Gross for a wild punt - would think you get 4 games from him over next 2 weeks

      If I knew Caicedo would play RB I'd get him. But Gross may end up there
