Manchester United face a huge challenge when Arsenal arrive at Old Trafford tonight – with the hosts in a dire injury mess.The Red Devils could be without 12 players for the big game, though despite the severe issues, Paul Pogba may not feature in the starting XI.
The French midfielder has endured a rough season with United and could be taken out of the firing line after another poor display against Southampton. Ander Herrera, Fred and Marouane Fellaini could be given the nod to line up in midfield.
A usual front three of Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku look set to start, despite the latter suffering a minor knock, but the real issues come in defence.
Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Antonio Valencia and Eric Bailly are all listed as doubts for the clash.
Victor Lindelof and Alexis Sanchez have already been definitely ruled out of the game, while Marcus Rashford could also be unavailable.
Matteo Darmian looks set to recover in time and could replace the suspended Ashley Young.
Diogo Dalot could make his Premier League debut for United after impressing in the Carabao Cup against Derby earlier in the season.
Mourinho’s side are currently 8th on the Premier League table, 8 points behind 4th placed Arsenal and a whooping 19points behind leaders Manchester City.The Red Devils are winless in their last three Premier League fixtures and are in desperate need of a win to renew their chances of making a top four finish this season.
