Scholes is out cause of his red card in the cup game.
Rooney returns, probably willing to show up - he didn't get to play the goodison game and is probably raring to go after his swearing ban to make up for himself. I'm expecting berbatov and rooney up top, but our main worry should be the wingers. Nani and Valencia might both play, and we'll have to rely on a great showing from Neville, Hibbo, Baines and Heitinga to shut them down.
Osman tends to do really well against United though, and if he stays in the same brilliant form he's had all season, we might have a real chance. Beckford's knack of scoring rather important goals is also something to benefit us, but he'll have a hard time against Vidic, i reckon. We ought to rely on our players in the hole, think goals from Billy rockets. Their central midfield is literally shoite, i'm hoping we'll show Carrick and Gibson how it's done.
Here's my lineup:
Howard
Hibbo Jags Distin Baines
Neville Heitinga
Osman Billy ????
Beckford
Big question is the last midfield position there. I doubt Gueye will get time to play against united, though he shows class that might take too much from him. Aiming for Coleman to step in there and show Wes Brown or whatever Da Silva who's boss.
Staying surprisingly optimistic for this one. We're due a win, shoite are due a loss or draw for us to pip sixth place. If we perform well here, we can start getting serious about europe for real.
