Back to football and there is the 'small' matter of Ole's first game in charge at OT

Not just the game, but also the build up, Ole's pre match and of course the players walking out at OT....

The difference is clear. The connection between the manager,the players and the fans is back. Imagine all our coaching crew are fans themselves. The manager,phelan,carrick and the fourth guy(forgotten is name) all manutd fans. One thing is assured we wount always win but damn we will always try to attack henceforth. Nothing is holding the team down. The bus has been taken away. Glory Glory Manutd

Solksjaer said he would be rotating quite a bit with games coming thick and fast, but I reckon he might just go with the same team again..

He could go with the exact same starting lineup today but we may see a bit more varied approach in terms of substitutions. But Huddersfield is not a walk in the park. They have very capable players and are relatively well coached. I'd be shocked if we win by more than 2 goals.

I'd like to see more of Fred during this period. Hopefully he can start at least one of the matches. I honestly haven't been able to determine anything or to have a studied analysis of his game. I also hope to see Mata start at least once and see how he is used by Solskjaer. Will he play him in the same lineup as Pogba? What role would he play?

Unfortunately I feel Fellaini will be heavily used as per usual. I don't know maybe he is very good at taking instructions. He just finds himself playing plenty. I just wish he were plying his trade elsewhere like Liverpool or Madrid or Everton. I think I've had my fair share of Felli football since 2013.

I think we need a left footed right winger and certainly Douglas Costa fits the profile. The thought of a reformed Sanchez and an electric Douglas Costa on either wing supporting martial/rashford is exciting .
However, there seems to be chemistry between Lingard , Martial, Pogba and Rashford and I would not want us to make the same mistake we made last January by bringing in a player that will unsettle the team chemistry.

In my opinion, Jesse Lingard is our most efficient and effective attacker.

Yusuf,

It will be interesting to see who flourishes under the new regime .

I think Martial is our most talented forward, and Rashford I hope will now be able to find what has been missing most of the season .

Sanchez is the most interesting "problem" we have .

His spell at United so far has not lived up to expectations .

But saying that, he has the ability to turn something out of nothing .

Should we progress in the Champions league, he could be the ace up our sleeves .

If all goes to plan with the rejuvenated United, and players like Greenwood are given are chance a dilemma Ole will face is what to do with Lukaku .
