Mata in on merit. He has been tremendous in recent matches. The understanding between him and Bruno is a joy to watch.Concerning that even Mata is ahead of VDB now. But the inclusion of James, I understand. If Greenwood isn't fit to start then he has to play. Else we are too reliant on Rashford to get behind the defence. But James' performances don't inspire that much confidence.
Atleast we have the bench to make the difference.
