Sponsored by. RUBEN AMORIM stunned everyone with his choice of striker against Crystal Palace. The Manchester United manager named both Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund on the bench at Old Trafford. And instead he opted to start Kobbie Mainoo as the No9 leading the line. Mainoo, 19, usually plays in the heart of midfield. But Amorim shook things up with his surprise new position to face the Eagles. Mainoo was spotted warming up with the forwards before kick-off in the Premier League clash.

And lo and behold, when the match got underway, he was the man furthest forward for the Red Devils - albeit in a slightly false No9 position. Mainoo was the centre forward in the Amorim 3-4-3 system with Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho either side. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
