Walcott had been asking for more
minutes as the central striker, so this should help with contract negotiations, as well as we don't really give up anything since Sanchez, Walcott and Welbeck are all going to end up switching positions throughout the match anyways.
United had led for 76
minutes following a fantastic early volley from the returning Memphis Depay, who was restored
as a
central striker in the absence of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial.
