Manchester United take on "bad bele" rivals Chelsea in the much anticipated and mouth watering FA cup quarter final clash on Monday.
In Jose "Uchenna" Mourinho's last press conference after the match against Rostov, he gave his big clue as to which team will line up in the match against Chelsea. He simply replied when asked, that he will definitely not be fielding a "Nicky Butt" team(the team of the juniors and reserves).
In team news, there is only one notable absentee with Ibrahimovic missing the match as a starting point for his 3-match elbow ban.
Here are the 3 ways we expect the boss to line up his warriors for d battle of pride and glory.
(1). In a 4-3-3 with the ever calm and controlling Carrick in the holding midfield position alongside Paul Pogba and general Ander Herrera. A formation which worked wonders during the team's best spell of the season.
(2). In a 4-2-3-1, with Ander Herrera and Paul "Ikenna" Pogba lining up in the double pivot role in midfield, giving room for our MMM boys(Martial Mkhitaryan and Mata) to mesmerise the Chelsea defence and "provide help" for Rashford.
(3). In a 5-4-1 as experimented in the match against FC Rostov, with Jones, Bailly and the impressive Rojo lining up in a 3-man defence, supported by Valencia and Blind in wing back positions, and Mhkhitaryan given the free role in the attacking
third, to find and create spaces in the attacking section of the pitch.
Whatever the formation turns out to be, we can only hope to be jubilant at the blowing of the final whistle on Monday night. Until then, GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!
Kick off time:Monday 8.45pm Nigerian time (GMT 19.45)
