Midfield:
Both Micheal Carrick and Darren Fletcher provide United the solidity in the middle and should start from the first whistle. Maroune Felliani has looked a shadow of his former self of his Everton days, should be dropped from the starting eleven. Juan Mata will be back in the side playing in his favourite number ten role while his pairing with Shinji Kagawa looks fostering in the attacking third. The Japanese who was United’s noteworthy mention in Germany should start from the left wings gradually, drifting in to provide balls for the strikers up front. Valencia, who is showing good form in recent weeks should start from right ahead of Nani and Young.
