WHERE WILL ALEXIS PLAY FOR JOSE?

Lingard — ALEXIS — Martial —

Lukaku Sanchez has the energy to support Lukaku as a No10 but also do more defensive pressing in that position than either Juan Mata or Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Rashford — Mata/Pogba —

ALEXIS — Lukaku The Chilean has spent a lot of his career as a predominantly left-sided player. Mourinho sees Rashford and Martial as too similar to play in the same team, so having Sanchez on one flank allows Rashford to play.

Lingard — Mata/Pogba —

Martial — ALEXIS At £75million, Lukaku is Mourinho’s main No9. But there may be certain games where he decides Sanchez’s running and technical ability will do the job up top better than the Belgian. Similar to the way Jurgen Klopp uses Roberto Firmino.
