Manchester United have only two, true out-and-out strikers on their roster. One of them, Benjamin Sesko, has been out injured for awhile, and we just learned a couple days ago that he’s going to be sidelined even longer. The other, Joshua Zirkzee, isn’t really Premier League level, let alone big six club in the Premier League level, but we think he’ll get the start anyway, on Tuesday night against AS Roma in the Champions League. Maybe he’ll surprise us, and get it done?

United are winless in their last nine and have now fallen into the relegation zone, so anywhere they can get goals, points, victories, just any kind of positive momentum at all is very welcome. No matter who it is who’s providing it.
We think manager Michael Carrick will pick Joshua Zirkzee to lead the line in midweek. Here’s who we believe will comprise the rest of the team around him.
