I think it’s unlikely that Hojbjerg starts, Ange has clearly shown that Skipp is ahead of him based on recent selections.
Hojbjerg has started two games in the last few months against Wolves and Brighton, we lost both.

Another 6-1 would be good. I'm going 2 nil us though.
Also theres absolutely no chance Emerson starts at OT with Romero and Dragusim available.
Nervous about the fixture.
Don't think that midfield is particularly well balanced and I think we're alot weaker with either Skipp or Hojbjerg in there.
Give me the draw. Get out of there and then go into our next fixture with Maddison back.
Man up! We're going to fuck them up, and there's nothing you or Erik Ten Fart can do about it.

I really hope so goaty. Alot of positivity around right now.
I think there is a better chance that Romero is on bench replacing maybe Solomon or Santiago or Sessegnon.
If necessary he might come off bench for 30 mins if Van de Ven struggling ?
In two minds about Romero. I would rather wait until he is 100% before trying him.
But maybe Ange is being a bit coy about his true level of fitness and starts him!
I don’t think Ange will risk him if he’s not fit. He’s not Jose, taking short Term risks
What's the odds on Romero starting with Madders on the bench followed by Ange 'they came to see me yesterday mate. Both felt great. Both eager to play'.
I would take a draw.
No Madders or Son is a worry for our goal threat. I'm preparing for a super frustrating game with us fluffing loads of chances.
Bentancur and PEH have played well together in the past but I am not sold on Kulu as a 10, I think he's only had 1 good game there (against a shot Newcastle).
That said, United are a very poor side at the moment and we finally have some CBs in the team. A real hard result to call.
Comfortably the 2 worst performances this season. Not saying thats all down to Hojbjerg obviously but cant imagine its gone unnoticed. As limited as Skipp is i think he's a better 6 than Hojbjerg and at least offers a bit more energy.
I think we would be more willing to risk it now that Dragusin is here.
I’d be surprised if he never trained today but you never know with all the rules nowadays.
I’ve not seen the presser but did Ange not mention if he trained or not? Did anyone think to ask that question ?
Romero isn't available according to the OS
It’s not because he’s played all season and Ange is quite brave with his decisions like that. He played VDV after one session,brought back bentancur after a few training sessions and madders starting on Sunday!!!!
