Man United fans react as Mourinho makes eight changes for Arsenal encounter

Manchester United visit Arsenal in the Premier League this afternoon (4pm kick-off) with both teams looking to keep the pressure on the top four.

Jose Mourinho’s Red Devils currently sit a place and five points ahead of the Gunners in fifth, and are four points behind Manchester City and Liverpool, although the Reds are in action against Southampton today and could move further clear.

Nonetheless, both sides know that three points this afternoon will make a massive impact in their respective races to secure Champions League qualification, although United do have the Europa League as a potential route into the tournament next term.

With the amount of injuries and indeed their participation in Europe’s secondary competition to take into account, it’s not too much of a surprise to see Mourinho make eight changes to the side that edged past Celta Vigo on Thursday night.

Wayne Rooney returns up front while both Phil Jones and Chris Smalling come in at centre-back, and there was also one surprise inclusion in the form of 19-year-old Axel Tuanzebe to make his Premier League debut.

And it’s a move which stimulated quite a response from United fans on Twitter, mainly filled with anticipation and excitement surrounding the youngster’s presence…
