Mourinho should give these 3 Man United players a chance on Boxing Day

Anthony Martial

With David Moyes likely to set his side up to frustrate and make it difficult for United, the hosts are going to need pace upfront and the ability to get the ball wide and make the pitch big.

Thus, Mourinho may call upon Anthony Martial to do just that.

The French international hasn’t hit the heights this season despite a stellar debut campaign in English football last time out, but a brace against West Ham and an assist against Everton in recent weeks suggests that he may be beginning to adapt to Mourinho’s ways.

United will need his pace and trickery on Monday to unlock the Sunderland defence, and it could be the catalyst for a better second half of the season for Martial.
