Strongest Possible Manchester United XI To Face Liverpool: £25m Summer Signing To Start

Wayne Rooney

The England legend scored twice and set up another in the six-goal-thriller, and he has seemingly chosen the perfect time to hit goal-scoring form, given the fact that he has only played for direct rivals of Liverpool all his career. He will likely start in the hole for Louis van Gaal this weekend.

Wingers

Jesse Lingard had a mixed game at Newcastle, scoring a goal that came at the back of his perfectly timed run and missing a sitter that would have earned all three points for the visitors. Juan Mata has not quite settled at Manchester United but will likely start at the expense of Marouane Fellaini.

Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial may not boast incredible statistics, but influences their attack enough to cement his spot in the teamsheet, at least for the next game and will spearhead the lineup this weekend. Against the makeshift Liverpool centrebacks, he should try to add to his goal tally.

SoccerSouls prediction

Liverpool players came through the Arsenal fixture unscathed and they have talented players in Emre Can and the likes, who can change the course of any game with a moment of brilliance. Given the fact that the Old Trafford club have been on a dwindling form since the departure of Alex Ferguson, the home side may have a slight advantage and should win comfortably.
