Jose Mourinho has had a tough week at home and abroad, having lost his maiden Manchester derby to bitter rival and Man City boss, Pep Guardiola, before enduring quite the wake up call with a 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord in their Europa League opener.
With that in mind, the trip to Vicarage Road to face Walter Mazzarri’s Watford side takes on massive importance to the former Chelsea boss, who cannot afford to let Guardiola’s side open up any more of a gap at the top of the Premier League.
Having rested the likes of Wayne Rooney, Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia in midweek, they all make a return to the first team, but Jose has made a big call as he looks to change his fortunes.
The Portuguese has handed Red Devils starlet, Marcus Rashford his first Premier League start of the season, hoping that he can continue his remarkable rise up the pecking order at Old Trafford.
The news has come as a big boost to fans from the Red half of Manchester…
After United fans bemoaned former boss Louis Van Gaal last season for his lack of attacking intent, fans on Twitter were encouraged to see just how forward thinking Jose has been this week…
It’s fair to say they’re confident ahead of kick-off…
