Mourinho needs to field this Manchester United attack in the starting XI against Burnley on Sunday

These are massive times for Manchester United and boss Jose Mourinho, who, after the staggering 2-0 win over Chelsea last weekend has the support of all of the Red Devils fans here in the Transfer Tavern!

The Portuguese coach showed he more than has what it takes to lead the Red Devils up the table and into the Champions League after the impressive win over his former employers and it was a victory that was much needed at the time.

Our regular United punters know things haven’t been perfect at Old Trafford this season but the final few games are about pulling together and making the most of what the campaign can be – which is qualifying for the Champions League.

And with another big game against Burnley ahead this weekend, how should Mourinho line up his troops for what could be a tough-looking tie?

With all that in mind, here’s the United attack we think should definitely start the game against the Clarets this weekend…

RAM: Marcus Rashford

If there’s one man that doesn’t deserve to be dropped after the fantastic display against Chelsea, it’s Marcus Rashford, who was superb throughout.

The England international caused the Chelsea defence real difficulty and he’s going to do the same against Burnley, if Mourinho opts to keep him in.

CAM: Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Henrikh Mkhitaryan had to settle for a place on the bench during the win over Chelsea, which proved to be another inspired Mourinho decision on the day.

But we’d like to see the Armenian return for the game against Burnley, with the thinking that his skill and pace will be far too much for the Clarets’ defence to manage for 90 minutes.

LAM: Ashley Young

Ashley Young’s inclusion in the squad against Chelsea came as a surprise to some of the regular United punters here in the pub but he did a cracking job and more than deserves to keep his place in the XI for the tie against Burnley.

The former Villa man was everywhere for the Red Devils and showed that he still has the pace and skill to cause problems at this level.

ST: Zlatan Ibrahimovic

All hail, King Zlatan should be recalled for the match against Burnley and it’s a game he should very much thrive in.

The Swede will be raring to go after being bench for the game against Chelsea and you can predict a very good afternoon for the Swede against a Burnley side that might just not have enough to keep him under wraps for 90 minutes.
