#3 Inject pace into the attack

Manchester United v Everton - Premier League
United has to play a high tempo game

Benfica midfielders Ljubomir Fejsa and Pizzi are having a great season and Manchester United need to inject a lot of pace into their game to unsettle the midfield duo.

Basel troubled Benfica with fast-paced football and Mourinho is aware of it. The Portuguese may look to start Jesse Lingard in place of Juan Mata on the right. Lingard is fresh and can offer a lot of pace and energy to the tired-looking Manchester United lineup. Antony Martial is an option on the left and these two can wreak havoc on both flanks with their pace.

Benfica is expected to organize defensively at the back and Mourinho will need pace on the wings to stretch their defence.
