Jose Mourinho admitted early in the 2018-19 campaign that he was not sure of his best side as Manchester United were left to deal with the late return of many of their World Cup stars.
But even now that the season is well into its stride there remain question marks over exactly who the Portuguese regards as his favoured starting forwards. Save for the constant presence of Romelu Lukaku at the centre of attack there have been few certainties about United’s offensive line-up of late.
With Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial well used to having to share playing time, Alexis Sanchez has now found himself also fighting for a place following his underwhelming start to the season.
