Mourinho should give these 3 Man United players a chance against Crystal Palace

Wayne Rooney

Having played midweek games in each of the last three weeks, Mourinho will once again need to keep things fresh in the middle of the park.

Thus, Wayne Rooney may be drafted back into the starting line-up at Selhurst Park.

The England captain hasn’t started in the Premier League since their 3-1 win at Swansea on November 6, in which he provided two assists to help Mourinho’s men to a comfortable victory.

A goal and an assist against Feyenoord also demonstrated that the 31-year-old still has a lot to offer this United team, and with Mkhitaryan out and Michael Carrick unlikely to play three times in a week, Paul Pogba may move further back, allowing Rooney to start in the number ten role.
