I don't see the issue with the squad management. You've listed 9 outgoing players, but United have missed none of them ... plus if you list Henderson outgoing, you at least have to add Dubravka/Butland incoming. Yeah, depth is poor, but we'd say that with those 9 players too. So now, it's an opportunity for youth players to sink or swim. They play Reading in the FA Cup tomorrow, then Nottingham in a dead rubber in the Caribou ... prime chance to give minutes to young players.
now the scheduling thing is a different issue. The second leg in the Caribou has always been a terrible idea, plus there's this whole Queen kerfuffle which has led to extra games ... in a season with a ####ing dumb WC right in the middle. As for the EL extra games, that's on United themselves. Just don't lose to Sociedad at home and avoid those Barcelona matches.
