The Manchester United fans here in the Transfer Tavern are hoping to see off Arsenal today and give Wenger’s final match against United the send-off it deserves, by rolling back the yesteryears of the crushing 8-2 and 6-1 defeats at Old Trafford.

Jose Mourinho would love to defeat his long-time foe today, the pair has had a fruitful relationship over Mourinho’s spells in England as our barman quite rightly points out, and today should be no different.

If United want to tie up second place as soon as possible, then everybody in the team needs to be on their A-game according to our locals in the pub. Indeed, Mourinho is a master tactician in these circumstances like we have seen in the Premier League in recent weeks where United have got the job done on several occasions and are riding a little momentum wave at the moment – especially after their FA Cup semi-final win.

They’ll be hoping to take this into this game week, and our landlord believes if they stand a chance of winning then a big call in dropping this season’s top goal scorer, Romelu Lukaku has to happen. With that in mind, he takes a look at TWO players that could potentially do a better job than the Belgian…

Marcus Rashford

After his brace against rivals Arsenal in his first ever Premier League start a couple of seasons ago, it may be a foolish move not to start with Marcus Rashford while his confidence against the Gunner is always high.

The England striker needs to start getting more minutes under his belt in preparation for the summer World Cup, and if he keeps up his short current form Mourinho surely can’t bench him.

Rashford offers the pace for the counter-attack and a superb finishing eye for goal.

Nishan Burkart

The 18 year old Switzerland U19 international is on fire for the Red Devils U18’s. He’s currently scored 10 goals and made six assists in his 16 games so far this season, and has been promoted to play in the development team twice.

Mourinho could look to what LVG did with Rashford and start him against the Gunners, and he will surely be hoping for a similar outcome should he take this massive gamble.

United are short on out and out strikers and Burkart fits the bill perfectly, should he choose to use him.
