Oppositions View: Manchester United

Last updated : 25 September 2009 By Dan Buxton
After last seasons Boxing Day clash, when a late Tevez goal seperated the sides, are you wary of the Potters pushing you all the way?

Stoke are a tough team to play when they're at home.  The crowd get right behind them and the team are no push over.

What kind of style will we see from this Man United side?
 
I should imagine Fergie will set the team up to play 442, we don't have any new injury worries so Berbatov would most likely start up front with Rooney playing off him.  We'll utilise the width but it depends whether Fergie will want a high tempo as to whether or not he uses Nani/Giggs on the left or Park/Valencia on the right.
 
Are there any Stoke players that you are wary of?

Ricardo Fuller is a beast!  Rio had a nightmare at the weekend and Vidic sometimes struggles with quick, powerful players so we'll see how it goes.
 
Any Man United players we should especially keeping an eye on?

It'll be interesting to see whether or not Danny Welbeck will feature after his winning goal last night.
