Arsenal have lost two of their last three, Tottenham are just three points ahead of fourth and have played as many games as Manchester United. If these United players are serious about saving their season, then it’s time to show it. Midline change Scott McTominey’s withdrawal from Leicester was shown to him in the yellow card, but it could easily have been for his sloppy performance. Nemanja Matic should have started ahead of the Scot and is expected to have his chance today with McTomney out injured. The Serb’s know-how in the defensive midfield at Goodison Park would make sense. Dairy ahead? Cristiano Ronaldo must start, as can Jadon Sancho, despite his worst appearance in months against Leicester. United are so exhausted in attack that it is worth calling on Jesse Lingard, who has only started once in the Premier League in the last two years and may already have his boxes full at home before a summer move.

Full back changes? Luke Shaw is injured again, so Alex Telles is the starting line-up. Diogo Dalot has not stood out in recent appearances, although he was not almost aggressive. That said, Ralph Rangnick could return to Aaron Wan-Bissaka, whom we have not seen since his disaster in the derby a month ago. Break the habit; Norwich, downstairs, were unlucky not to beat United, they do not mind losing at Carrow Road in December. Watford, 19th, crushed United 4-1 at home and tied 0-0 away. Eighteenth Burnley drew 1-1 with United in February and that was the same score when Everton, 17th, left Old Trafford in October. United’s sad record against the last four must be tackled in their next two games, with Norwich in Manchester next week if they are to have any hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
