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

Michael Carrick

With how poor United have been at times this season, it’s truly baffling that Michael Carrick hasn’t got more minutes on the pitch.

The former West Ham and Tottenham midfielder brings a measure of control to the United midfield, and it was noticeable during the Louis van Gaal era how important the 35-year-old was to the balance of the team.

Nevertheless, he has yet to make a Premier League start this season, but United’s hopeless display against Chelsea may persuade Mourinho to change things up in the middle of the park.

Arguably, the Portuguese still does not know his best team, so giving Carrick a chance on Wednesday makes complete sense as he looks to land on that perfect eleven.
