The thing is if Mourinho was in charge for this game, the chances of Mata starting would be about zero. He'd pack the midfield and look for pace on the wings (Welbeck and Valencia probably) to try and hit City on the break. He'd probably be inclined to stick Jones in midfield and maybe even Cleverley to really work their socks off.

But Moyes will probably play it open and get turned over by at least three goals.

Jones in midfield is a non-option though with Vidic being suspended

  1. Manchester United starting XI: De Gea; Rafael, Ferdinand, Jones, Evra; Carrick, Cleverley, Fellaini; Mata, Welbeck, Rooney

  1. Man City starting XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany ©, Demichelis, Clichy, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Nasri, Silva, Navas, Dzeko

Looks like a 3 man midfield for United. Worried about Mata's lack of pace countering and his tracking back but fingers crossed.

Moyes actually seems to be fielding a decent team in relation to the opponent for once, 3 in the midfield with Carrick-Fellaini- Cleverly will be needed to not get completly overrun by Yaya and Co. .

Look at that United squad. It's absolutely shocking. 1 player would get in our team and that's Rooney. They're going to have to spend so much this summer if they want to get back up there.

TBH Carrick would not be bad alongside Matic.
