Sky showing Rooney in centre midfield, with us playing a 433.
Could be anything knowing Jose. Guess we'll have to just wait and see.

Hope Martial is ST & Micki/Mata at #10. Shove Rooney wide, he's going to feck up all the attacks anyway.
Where did it get leaked?This team is too slow i'm afraid.
Pogba in for Rooney at half time would be nice, hopefully it's not too late by then.What's the lineup? The tweet's not loading for me for some reason.Strong team and strong bench with players who can infliuence from the bench as well.
he made his debut in the fa cup, this might be his first start thoughSome of the comments here
As already mentioned, all key players rested bar Herrera, this is better than I expected from Mourinho.
This. It's a brlliant team, all things considered.
Slow in counter < but still creative with mata martial and rooney and mkh. We can hold the ball better and create
Not his debut but his first start. I think his previous appearance was also at right back.
One of them will
I'm assuming on twitter to some Journo.If we win I think there's a smallish chance of top four. We better beat that United team.9/11. Didn't have Rooney and didn't have Axel.I had Valencia and Pogba in but I guess Jose feels he needs Herrera's running to cover Carrick and wants to rest Tony. It's nice to see Tuanzebe get a start but it's a shame for him that he's playing out of position.Rooney aside that's a decent team. I'm glad Axel is being trusted in a big game. Who's playing at right back; Smalling or Jones?Got 8/11, which all things considered isn't too bad. Thought he would have given De Gea the day off and didn't think he'd play Jones and Smalling together. That's a car crash right there waiting to happen, especially if they put Welbeck and Sanchez up front.
Just hope that they keep their focus for the whole 90 minutes and don't do anything stupid.Jones or Tuanzebe RB?
Probably AxelTuanzebe's blinder on the cards.
Not sure if I agree with those players being particularly creative.People moaning about the inclusion of Rooney as usual, but we need a big game from Mkhitaryan today.
Had a underwhelming game against Celta, despite the team collectively playing well, and he hasn't been great in the last few games neither.
No way would Rooney be in midfield.
Rooney as a striker, can just about play in the EPL, but is more suited to the Championship.
As a midfielder, I'd say he is League 1...and that's being very generous.Mkhi or Rooney paying wingback?Arsenal fans will be so over the moon that Ramsey and Xhaka are starting in midfield!I would have rested Herrera as well.Not sure about the scoreline but i predict endless bitching about Rooneys performance thoughout the match
Yes, he needs to start stepping up I agree. He's been pretty underwhelming this season, bar a few matches. I think we all expected a bit more. It's first season and all that, so there's some understanding there....but it would be nice if he had a blinder today!!
I can't actually remember the last time Miki played well in an EPL game. Was it that scorpion kick goal he scored several months back?I liked Tuanzebe against France U20, he was physically solid and often well positioned.Very tough day for the defenders.
He scored a good goal vs Leicester and Boro recently. Think he played ok in those gamesRooney to dive and score a 96th minute penalty, cue hilarity from Arsenal Fan TV.Hopefully the Liverpool result coupled with Jose's record against Arsenal will spur us on to victory and it's game back on.
How is it a strong team? Jones mata and Smalling are starting for the first time after their injury layoff. Rooney and martial haven't exactly been amazing this season. Tuanzebe is starting his first ever game. Darmian and mkhi polarized opinions over the season.
Basically it's DDG Carrick and herrera who could probably get in a strongest first XI currently
You can probably blame Fellaini for that. Personally Mourinho made the right call as Pogba would be playing insteadLiverpool drop points.......- Status
