Mourinho should give these 3 Manchester United players a chance against Blackburn in the FA Cup

Wayne Rooney

The captain could be back with a bang after being rested against Saint-Etienne in the Europa League in midweek.

The 31-year-old, who has scored five goals in all competitions this term, has played every minute of United’s FA Cup defence so far, so Thursday’s exclusion is destined to mean Rooney will start against Blackburn on Sunday.

The forward has scored four times against Rovers since his move to Old Trafford from Everton back in 2004.
