Manchester United take on Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley on Saturday and Jose Mourinho is likely to make some surprising decisions for the clash – as per reports.
The United manager fielded a rather different looking team for Premier League clash against Bournemouth in midweek and after the match, Jose confirmed that he will get back to his more familiar starting line-up against the Lilywhites on Saturday.
Now through The Sun are claiming that the United manager will likely start the game with Marcus Rashford who is undoubtedly a hard worker on the pitch.
The report states that Marcus Rashford will come into the team at the expense of January signing Alexis Sanchez.
Since his move to Old Trafford, the Chilean has given away the ball the most number of times amongst his teammates and has managed to score only two goals.
These stats have left the United manager highly unimpressed and Jose might just start with Marcus Rashford on the right flank meaning Alexis Sanchez could drop down to the bench.
But we all know that this chance is something that Jose Mourinho will not try and risk given the fact that Sanchez is his marquee signing of the current season.
So just to keep a bit of doubt amongst its readers The Sun also clarifies that Jose Mourinho still has the option of playing Alexis Sanchez and Marcus Rashford on the same team in which case Jesse Lingard will play down the middle.
Classic Sun.
