Few hours from now, the big game will be here. Chelsea Vs Manchester United. Jose Mourinho is set for revenge as he headed back to Stamford Bridge to play against his former club.
The Portuguese tactician is now ready to do his thing without his suspended star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Manchester United fans are worried and disappointed about Zlatan’s absence quite no doubt. Many United supporters feels ‘If only we can turn back the hands of time’. But well…
But well, there is now more bad news for Manchester United.
Last week, it was predicated that Manchester United’s potential lineup for their FA Cup clash against Chelsea would see United youngsters like the duo of Rashford and Martial in the starting XI.
Nevertheless, the Mirror reported that Manchester United players like Martial, Rashford and Wayne Rooney have not traveled with the squad to London.
So, when it’s kick off later tonight, Manchester United fans should be set to see something different as the boss would make many key changes in the squad today.
Who is playing the No. 9 Role?
n the absence of Ibrahimovic, Marcus and Wilson, then we expect Armenian international Mkhitaryan to be the one to start in the No. 9 role.
But, won’t the No. 9 Role be ‘strange’ to him?
Actually not, Mkhitaryan has effectively played as a striker with previous clubs like Shakhtar and Dortmund. So, we think he will be the perfect man for the Centre Forward role. Then, others like Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard may start with him in the attack.
Additionally, there are lots of probabilities that Jose Mourinho would choose to alter his usual 4-2-3-1 formation against the west London club and might opt for a 4-3-3 formation instead.
So, here is Manchester United’s probable 4-3-3 XI vs Chelsea.
GK – De Gea
DL – Rojo
DC – Bailly
DC – Smalling
DR – Valencia
DM – Carrick
MC – Pogba
MC – Herrera
AL – Lingard
AR – Mata
FC – Mkhitaryan
