RWB – Antonio Valencia
Needs to tighten up his defensive game, instead of simply playing like a winger. If Valencia can show he has an all-round game he will be a talent to behold, but at the moment his ignorance of defensive responsibilities will be his undoing, especially against Arsenal’s pacy wingers.
CM – Ander Herrera
Herrera has scored three and assisted three this season after finally working his way into thr Manchester United starting XI. He brings a precision to the middle of the park, which is often frantic, and will be able to slow the game down if needed.
CM – Daley Blind
Blind can spray the ball left, right and centre and will need to be on top form in this cup quarter final. The Dutchman will also attempt to disrupt Arsenal attacks, generally making a nuisance of himself.
LWB – Ashley Young
He has been impressive having been given a chance in the team, even scoring the winner against Newcastle. Much like Valencia though, needs to tighten up his defensive game.
