Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Jesse Lingard

Not many fans appreciate or see the kind of job that Lingard puts in for the team both at the club and international level. Believe it or not, Jesse Lingard is not one of the so-called overhyped English players, he's the real deal. He has an uncanny ability to be effective in tight spaces and also presses the ball very well when the opposition has it. One may wonder why he is trusted by his club and international managers but, he puts in the job every coach likes. Add his spectacular goals into the picture and then there is no way Mourinho is going to put him on the bench.

Romelu Lukaku

Lukaku is one of Mourinho's buys and as much as he has scored goals, he hasn't done it against the teams that really matter. Needless to say, if United are going to turn their season around and mount a challenge on the premier league, Lukaku will be vital. Especially against the so-called small teams where he will make sure united get the points.

Alexis Sanchez

Having benefitted from a free summer, this is going to be the season that Sanchez shines for United. In his performance against Burnley, his hunger to do well for his team was quite evident and the Chilean looked sharp. He also has something to prove to the United faithful who are yet to see his best for the club ever since he arrived last season from Arsenal.

Conclusion:

Jose Mourinho has the team and the players to make it work. He would do well to shrug off all the negativity surrounding his team and focus on improving the performances of his players on the pitch for that is the place where all the criticisms will be answered.

The final line-up which can improve United's prospects this season is as follows:

David De Gea, Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw, Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.

The above team appears to be a pretty decent side that can mount at least a premier league challenge, nothing less should be expected from the side and their manager.
