Anthony Martial and Juan Mata to start? – Predicted Manchester United line-up to face Everton

Anthony Martial Manchester United

Manchester United face Everton on Sunday as the Red Devils must attempt to make it three games unbeaten in the Premier League.

The midweek clash against Juventus in the Champions League ended in a 1-0 loss, but there was a major gap in the quality of the two teams.

United have done better in recent weeks in the Premier League with a 3-2 win over Newcastle and a battling 2-2 draw against Chelsea last weekend.

Jose Mourinho seems to have found a team to his liking and here is our predicted line-up for the game at Old Trafford.

Predicted Manchester United XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Jose Mourinho

David de Gea (GK)

The Spanish keeper is one of the best in the world and should remain between the sticks against the Toffees.

Ashley Young

Ashley Young (RB)

Young was top-quality against Eden Hazard a week ago and needs to play in the same manner against a tough Everton team.

Victor Lindelof (CB)

The Swede seems to be a bit of a favourite of Mourinho’s and should partner Smalling at the back.

Chris Smalling (CB)

Smalling isn’t the best defender in the Premier League, however, he is the best option we have for our defence.

Luke Shaw (LB)

Shaw has been one of our better players this season and should be up for this game.

Nemanja Matic (CM)

The Serbian needs to have a good game if we are to get the three points against the Toffees.

Paul Pogba (CM)

Pogba needs to have a quality game and this could be the tie where we see the best of the Frenchman.

Juan Mata (CAM)

The Spaniard was great in the games against Newcastle and Chelsea, and Mata should start against the Blues at Old Trafford.

Anthony Martial Manchester United

Anthony Martial (LW)

Martial was excellent in the second half of our draw with Chelsea. He seems to be the best bet for a goal from our forward, at the moment.

Romelu Lukaku (ST)

Lukaku really needs a goal and facing against his former side could be the motivation he requires to bag a few.

Marcus Rashford (RW)

The English forward has looked decent in recent weeks but still isn’t playing to his best for the Red Devils.
