Arsenal can still beat Chelsea to the title, says Gunners star
Here is how we expect United to line up:
GK- David De Gea
De Gea has arguably been United’s best player this season, and perhaps the main reason they are still in contention for a Champions League qualification space.
RB- Antonio Valencia
Valencia may keep his place in the team, but only as van Gaal has very few alternatives available to him.
CB- Phil Jones
The England international will revert to a much more familiar role, having featured in holding midfield for England against Italy on Tuesday.
CB- Marcos Rojo
With Chris Smalling having collected an injury on international duty, the Argentinian is likely to regain a starting place.
