Mourinho should give these 3 Man United players a chance against Leicester

Chris Smalling

Phil Jones picked up a knock in the 0-0 draw with Hull on Tuesday night, and could be missing for the trip to Leicester on Sunday.

If the England international isn’t passed fit to play, then another England international in Chris Smalling could be called upon.

The 27-year-old appears to have lost his place in the United starting eleven such has been the good form of Jones and Marcos Rojo and, given that Eric Bailly has returned from African Cup of Nations duty, Smalling isn’t going to get many more chances to prove his worth to Mourinho.

Thus, if Jones doesn’t play, Smalling must seize this chance with both hands, otherwise his long-term United career could be in doubt.
