Keane worries me, he's a PK giving machine. I don't think United gets Rojo anytime soon. He's got agents who are declaring third party ownership, and we know how well that's sorted considering the Tevez transfer.

pretty sure it'll be Tyler Blackett instead, he clearly outplayed Keane in preseason. I also expect Reece James to start on the left tomorrow and Young on the right ... Rafael may be "fit", but he didn't play a whole lot on the tour before going down with injury and I doubt van Gaal will immediately throw him back in.
Sad that it's come to this, even with all those injuries they shouldn't have to start two youngsters in defense. How they haven't signed ANYONE since Shaw and Herrera in late June is being baffling and frankly quite embarrassing. "Watch this space" ... yeah, right ...
