Mourinho should give these 3 Man United players a chance against Saint-Etienne

Matteo Darmian

With the League Cup final approaching, as well as an FA Cup tie at Blackburn and a trip to Saint-Etienne next week, Mourinho is likely to shake things up on Thursday.

And that could mean a return to the first team for defender Matteo Darmian.

The Italian international hasn’t appeared for the Red Devils since their 2-1 defeat to Hull in the League Cup semi-final second leg on January 26, with Daley Blind deputising at left-back.

However, 27-year-old Darmian has been reliable when called upon this term, and given that he played three of their Europa League group stage campaigns, he may well get a start at Old Trafford on Thursday.
