The youngster will play as a striker in Ibrahimovic’s absence

Left wing : Alexis Sanchez

The Chilean is a doubt for tomorrow's big game but is adamant that he will be available even if it against Wenger's will. He was sensational for his national team scoring a brace against Uruguay and also has fond memories of playing against United as he destroyed United when they met last season at the Emirates.

Right wing : Theo Walcott

Walcott has found a new lease of life this season as the 25-year-old has been influential since the start nicking important goals and providing crucial assists. Mourinho has employed a lot of players in that position but whether playing as a winger or as a striker, Walcott has done well this campaign. He has already scored eight goals this season with this term expected to be the Englishman's best campaign to date.

Striker: Marcus Rashford

"Lets not forget that last year, the guy who killed us was Rashford.” When a manager of Wenger's ilk talks this highly of a youngster, he must be world class. With Ibrahimovic suspended, Rashford will finally start in his favoured striker position and will look to replicate last season's showing against Arsenal where he scored a brace. His arrival is bringing some attacking intent to United's limited impact in the final third season as Mourinho has failed to utilise Rashford well.
