Picking the Best Potential Manchester United Lineup to Face Sunderland on Sunday

Manchester United travel to Sunderland on Sunday afternoon as they look for their first Premier League win since beating Middlesbrough last month.

A win is a must for for Jose Mourinho’s men, if they want to keep up the pressure on top four rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.

This match is surely the perfect opportunity for Luke Shaw to show Jose Mourinho that he is indeed worthy of being Manchester United’s regular left back.

With Ashley Young out injured and with Daley Blind only playing 45 minutes in midweek, Shaw is the best candidate for the full back role this weekend, especially as he produced a decent cameo against Everton in midweek.

Midfield

With Paul Pogba back ready from a hamstring injury, Jose Mourinho is likely to deploy his favoured midfield trio with the French midfielder partnering Michael Carrick and Ander Herrera.

Fellaini has been the man to fill in for Pogba in the last couple of weeks and if United are trailing or looking for a late winner, Mourinho will resort to the big Belgian for a goal.

Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard are likely to partner top goalscorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the forward line.

Lingard has caused a stir this week when he signed a new contract at the club apparently worth £100,000 a week. 

The young Englishman is under pressure to show everyone that he is worth the money and Sunday is the perfect chance to prove any doubters wrong. ?
