Man Utd will be clashing with Mourinho's Tottenham team in North London
Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has most of his players at his disposal than he might have wanted before the emergency of the coronavirus pandemic which resulted in the suspension of the premier league campaign.
Had it been that the league calendar wants as planned, Man utd must have clashed with Tottenham Hotspur in March without Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba because they are still undergoing some treatment due to their injury.
But the England international Rashford is now ready and fit to round off his highly successful week of political activism with his first man utd appearances since he was sidelined in January because of injury.
Paul Pogba in the hand has not featured in the Red's match since September last year as a result of his ankle injury and now he could finally be partnering with the new boy Bruno Fernandes.
The French international is expected to play in a more defensive midfield role in other to accommodate United's £67million January signing,
who will be placed in the attacking midfield position, just behind the strikers Rashford and Martial to support them?
Ever since the Portuguese international joined the Red, he has been doing very well, providing more creativity up-front but he has not been able to play alongside Pogba.

Man Utd coach Solskjaer will do some work in other to accommodate the two players in the midfield, that Pogba will likely occupy the No.10 position and Fernandes moving forward to take the No.8 position in other to apply some of his creativity they, with Fred, work hand-in-hand with Paul Pogba.
Since coaches are now allowed to make up to five changes, neither Pogba nor Rashford is likely to play the full 90mins after the lengthy lay-offs.
it is only Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jone are only United players in the squad that is fit for the match.
Phil Jone last game at united was that of FA cup fourth round and he still misses Man Utd friendly match against Stoke City last week because of his persistent knee injury which has refused to yield to treatments.
Tuanzebe has been faced with an unknown injury although he appeared in Man Utd training last week, He's still faced with an unknown injury and he is not at his full fitness.
However, Nigerian International is likely to start from the bench with the Reds having most of their players back but he will surely be substituted in the second half after he has extended his contract at the club till the end of January 2021.
Ighalo has been impressive since joining United on a short season loan from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, so he likely to feature in the game.
Man Utd predicted XI
De Gea; Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw; Wan-Bissaka, Matic, Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, Williams; Anthony Martial, Rashford.
