I think Utd are a little weaker in midfield , but not by much
They still have pogba and mata  linguard Matic ...

city silva , de brune ...perhaps Delph or is he left bank
He’s useless anyway

Forwards   

Augero of course , nothing more needs to be said

But then again Utd do have Sanchez , one of the best players ever to play in the premier league

Sterling ? Shouldn’t even be playing professional football

So you'd leave out Kompany, Stones, Laporte and Mendy for Rojo, Smalling and Jones.



Ok then.



On to the midfield then.

Presuming we're going 4-3-3 or similar as both teams play that way. I'll list all the candidates for you to choose from.

Utd: Pogba, Lingaard, Fred, Herrera, Fellaini, Matic, McTominay

City: Gundogan, De Bruyne, Delph, B Silva, D Silva, Fernandinho

Have you seen Sanchez play in a Utd shirt? I mean, Le Tissier's one of the best ever players but I wouldn't have him in my current line up.

Utd: Lukaku, Rashford, Sanchez, Martial

City: Aguero, Sterling, Sané, Mahrez. Gabriel Jesus

Sane is the stand alone player , no one in England as good as him

I like Martial to be fair. On any available form over the last two years though, he's got to be behind both Sterling and Sané. Lad's got potential though.

Sorry Mane on the left should of course be Sane
By:

When: 22 Nov 18 09:57
Kompany is not good enough these days to make the City first team, Mendy is a sicknote and shouldn't really be in anyone's team, Pogba has to be in the team, outside of being managed by Mourinho he is a top player for France and was for Juve, don't really see what Sane's done at all.

Let me put it like this themover , if Martial was told he could only use his left foot to play ( he’s right footed )
he would still be a better player than sterling
By:

When: 22 Nov 18 10:07
Martial has done nothing that would get him in a combined team ahead of Sterling

City are probably the best of the top 5 or 6 teams , but really it’s marginal very very fine margins
By:

Are they the best player for player ?
I’m not sure , I think maybe not

SH - just don't get it with Pogba. Was very good for Juventus but then they had a specific framework which suited him. Best back 5 in the world, Pirlo pulling the strings, Marchisio or Khedira doing the donkey work. He had very little to do defensively or tactically so could play his own game. Did very well to be fair, but since then when he's been tried to fit in a team he's struggled.

As for France, his performances in the World Cup have been massively over-hyped. Played pretty well, nothing more.

I thought pogba had a very good World Cup

He’s an all round good player really and should dominate most games from mid field ( doesn’t always  do so )
By:

When: 22 Nov 18 10:21
I think he was fair. But this is brand Pogba, where he has a new haircut for every interview and so is very high profile. He didn't actually do that much though.

When Pogba has been left to his own devices he is an excellent, creative midfielder with very good passing ability that makes and sees passes not many others do or can

Juventus were very technical and tactical and he fitted in, but the reason why he hasn't under Mourinho is not because he is not a team player but because Jose just like he did with Eden Hazard, tried to square a circle when it didn't need reshaping, he for a long time tried to play Pogba as deep as Matic and defend and run back more closing players down, that is not and will never be Pogba, something will give this season, either Pogba or Jose leaves, no way both stay next season.

Pogba needs a manager who let's him have freedom the same way Conte and Allegri  did.

Jose is just an old school manager who because he never played the game doesn't seem to understand if you force creative players to do to much defensive work it takes away from what they're best at.

They are not suited at all.

But he has to be left to his own devices. In and around his own box he is an utter liability. He is regularly picked on by opposing teams as the weak link because he switches off so often. He can pick a pass but should be doing it far more frequently than he's shown.

No doubt the lad's got ability and, if managed by someone else, could well be a great player. But, on any form - league, European, or international - I can't possibly see what he's done to get ahead of Fernandhinho, De Bruyne or David Silva. It's not even close.
