Manchester United has a tough course to pick as he prepares to face Arsenal in a mid week encounter. Arsenal’s current form is a big threat to Mourinho’s side which has only depended on comebacks to survive defeats. This comes as after a successful weekend by Arsenal thrashing Tottenham 4-2.
Will Mourinho maintain Manchester United’s record against Arsenal or it will turn the other way round?
Ashley Young is unavailable for selection on Wednesday due to suspension, while Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly, who missed the last game through injury, remain doubts.
Luke Shaw and Romelu Lukaku came off at St Mary’s on the weekend with knocks, but Mourinho refused to shed any light on the severity of their problems.
“We are going to be in difficulties again to build the team,” Jose told MUTV.
“We are again going to have to make adaptations and compensations to try to give some balance to the team. But then I believe we are again going to have the spirit to fight and to try to win the match.”
Marcus Rashford was another who sustained a knock against Southampton, with Mourinho revealing after the game that the forward was asking to come off.
Mourinho, however, was confident Rashford would recover in time for Arsenal despite suffering an injury which, according to the United manager, would leave some players out of action for “two weeks”.
Who do you think will win the encounter between Manchester United vs Arsenal on Wednesday?
