Preferred Line Up v. Stoke City

Since the transfer of Mata there has been certain amount of excitement in Manchester United Season. Mata , who already has an assist to his name is starting to ease into our line up. Since his arrival majority of fans are wondering what our line up will look like. Today's game against Stoke is very important, A win may take us to 5th place provided Spurs lose and Everton drop points in their respective games.

All our attacking players will be eager to link up with Mata. My preferred Line up today will be

______________ De Gea __________________

Rafael_____ Evans ______ Smalling____ Evra

_______   Fletcher ______ Jones____________

___ Mata ______ Rooney _______ Janujaz __

_______________ RVP ___________________

This would be my Line up today . The defense would be the same like in the last game. I would prefer a continuity there.

In Midfield I would pick Fletcher and Jones as against Stoke you need strength in the middle. Cleverley could struggle here so Jones would  be better. He did well against Cardiff where he provided protection to the Back 4.

The attack is where things gets interesting. I really hope Moyes doesn't stick to 4-4-2 line up as it wont make full use of Mata's talent. RVP should start provided he is fit enough. No need to risk him . If he is fit then let him start and score a goal or two then sub him like in last game. If RVP doesn't start then either go with Hernandez at top or push Rooney up front and play Kagawa as #10. I really want to see Mata-Kagawa-Janujaz play together. I hope Moyes doesn't forget about Kagawa. Let him play a game or two with Mata and let us see how he does. Same with Hernandez, he is under utilized so I hope he also gets his chance when RVP or Rooney is rested.

Prediction- I will go for a 3-1 victory for us. It would be shocking if we don't get 3 points as we have gained some momentum in the last week or so with the signing of Mata and a win against Cardiff. Let us we win this one  and hope other team above us drop points.
