That would frighten Man City on the counter attack, Man City having possession of the ball would be scared of that
Man Utd legend Darren Fletcher
And he wants to see plenty of pace up front, with an attacking three of Alexis Sanchez, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, with the latter replacing Juan Mata from the win over Bournemouth on Saturday.
“They should treat the game like they did the second half against City last season where they took the game at them and they were brave and they tried to get up the pitch,” Fletcher said on Sky Sports.
“Manchester City are going to have long spells of possession and we know Pep Guardiola worries about the counter attack, tactical fouls and things like that were brought up.
“So I’d like to see pace in the front areas.

Man Utd news: Fletcher wants to see Marcus Rashford play against Man City (Image: GETTY)
"Me personally I would like to see Rashford come in, I’d like to see Marcus come in there (for Mata), which was almost how they ended the game (at Bournemouth).”
Fletcher was then asked about Romelu Lukaku, who missed the clash at Bournemouth through injury.
And the Stoke midfielder reckons Jose Mourinho should leave Lukaku out if he is fit, because the trio he previously mentioned would “frighten” City on the counter attack.
“It’s a big dilemma really,” Fletcher said of Lukaku potentially being available again.
