great minds...

Come on United interesting team selection though

Hahaha your saying this team is better without van de sar, ronaldo and rooney? haha dumb a$re

On a different note what do you reckon the odds that Phil neville will either get sent off or score an own goal

Teenager Federico Macheda is handed his first start for Manchester United as they head into the FA Cup semi-final against Everton at Wembley without key trio Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. The 17-year-old netted match-winning goals against Aston Villa and Sunderland in his two substitute appearances. Given United's hectic schedule, manager Sir Alex Ferguson elects to give some of his regulars a rest, with eight changes from the starting XI which took on Porto in the Champions League. Ben Foster comes into goal, while twin brothers Fabio and Rafael Da Silva also both start, along with Danny Welbeck and Darron Gibson. Carlos Tevez provides the experience in attack, with Dimitar Berbatov on the bench.

Everton, meanwhile, go for their strongest side possible, which includes a start for striker Louis Saha against his former club. Tim Cahill and Marouane Fellaini are expected to play in an advanced role for the Toffees, who famously beat United here to win the FA Cup in 1995. Teenager Jack Rodwell is handed a place on the bench.

You think its better? they may well win today but that not the strongest team he could put out.

is he an a$re (or whatever word you were trying to type) as well?

HALF-TIME 2-1 to City The ref brings a brilliant first-half to an end. Robinho netted his first goal of the year, before City doubled their lead through Onuoha albeit in dubious fashion after Caicedo appeared to have blocked off Carson. West Brom had the better of the chances and they got a deserved goal when Brunt hit home Fortune's knock.

I dont think it is no but until the game is over youve just gotta wait and see

Clever clogs haha

Im just saying that team is not the best he could put out therefore he can't be taking this game as serious as the porto one.

What does everyone think of this www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/ ... -21288238/ personally i think celtic and rangers have to earn the right to be in it if it happens because it is not fair on teams that miss out because of them

as he said in the press conference, and as i happen to agrre, if he put most of those players out united would be found out by the second half. they wouldnt have the legs.

I just find it very interesting after the comments he made about Rafa this week.

Talking about getting found out this could be the day that Macheda can prove he is as good as everybody thinks by starting from the beginning.

i really think it's different, not just a bit, but completely

that shot was pretty good

I dont shows he thinks there are more important games to save his players for.

He would be right though to be fair surely you would wanna win the league and champions league i know i would to be honest

So you agree he's not taking this game as serious as others?

Yes because hes rested players but No because it is still a good team capable of winning, lets just say hes getting he priorities right

obsessed! are you this passionate when liverpool play?

No im not red nose haha am not even watching the game.

red nose? first time ive heard a wigan fan called a red nose.
