Sanchez as a 10? Lukaku to start? Here is how Manchester United could line up at Arsenal

Alexis Sanchez could return to the starting XI when Manchester United face Arsenal in their FA Cup Fourth Round tie at the Emirates.

The Chilean has been working his way back from a hamstring problem and was an unused substitute last time out in the 2-1 win over Brighton.

Sanchez’s only start under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the Third Round win over Reading, but the interim manager is confident his star man is ready to make an impact against his former side. Speaking about Sanchez in his pre-match press conference, Solskjaer said: “He’ll be involved.

“I think he’ll love it if the crowd turn against him. As a player, pride kicks in and you think ‘I’ll show all of you’.

“He’s been fantastic in training, his attitude has been spot on so hopefully he’ll enjoy the game.”

However, Solskjaer has confirmed that Marouane Fellaini, Marcos Rojo and Chris Smalling will not feature on Friday.

“It’s still those three who are missing,” he said.

Smalling has started training so hopefully he’ll be available maybe next week, so it’s looking good for him.

“Fellaini and Rojo are still a bit away.”

Solskjaer is not expected to heavily rotate his starting XI but Sergio Romero should replace David De Gea in goal while Eric Bailly could return after a three-match suspension.

Luke Shaw is available after illness while Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard could drop to the bench.
