Demarai Gray starting at Old Trafford?

It can be tough being Craig Shakespeare when you can’t play Demarai Gray because of how very good Riyad Mahrez is, and how very good the former can be. The young Englishman was on song last night, twisting, turning, scoring and assisting to give his boss the kind of headache that he’d love to have.

Could it be that we see Gray starting at Old Trafford, the place where he has his only Premier League goal so far? Time will tell, but he seems to have made a strong case for himself.
