Predicted XI: United v Chelsea

Now that the dust has finally settled, sort of, on the debacle that was United’s exit from the Champions League on Tuesday Sir Alex Ferguson’s men can get down to the business of winning the double.

While ‘Wayne Rooney-gate’ has bored us all to tears, while dominating the back pages ever since the most successful manager in British history had the audacity to make a tactical decision, the question of what side the manager will pick to face Chelsea in today’s FA Cup quarter final has been far from boring.

With Robin Van Persie looking a little tired of late and Chicharito having a great record against Chelsea it wouldn’t be too much of a shock if the dutchman starts on the bench and the Little Pea takes his place. Here’s my starting eleven for today’s game.

David De Gea, Rafael, Rio Ferdinand, Jonny Evans, Patrice Evra, Michael Carrick, Anderson, Nani, Tony Valencia, Wayne Rooney, Chicharito.
