a lack of respect? he's chosen not to pick some players as he thinks htey'll be too tired after the recent games and that they wouldn't be able to keep up with everton. how's that a lack of respect?

Only three players start from the porto game which team is stronger?

we'll soon find out

I was about to say wait until the game is over or even half time we will soon find out

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?
