Mourinho should give these 3 Man United players a chance on New Year’s Eve

Anthony Martial

Alternatively, Mourinho could look to make the pitch big and stretch the Boro back four all over the place, so he could turn to Anthony Martial on Saturday.

The Frenchman’s future at Old Trafford appears to be uncertain after recent reports have linked him with a move to Sevilla in January, so he ideally needs time on the pitch to prove his worth to Mourinho.

And what better time than against Boro, where United will need his pace, trickery, and directness to break down their stubborn backline.
