Mourinho should give these 3 Man United stars a chance against Sunderland

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was one of four United players to receive criticism from manager Mourinho following their 0-0 draw with West Brom last weekend, and was subsequently dropped against Everton in midweek.

However, there’s no doubting the Armenian’s quality in the final third, so you’d expect him to return to the starting line-up at the Stadium of Light.

The 28-year-old has scored seven goals in all competitions for United this term, and when you consider that he didn’t get much gametime in the first few months of the campaign, that’s not a bad return.

Nonetheless, Mourinho needs his frontmen to be more clinical in the final third, a message Mkhitaryan must surely have heeded ahead of Sunday’s clash in the North East.
