Arsenal title winner Paul Merson has called on a radical selection choice from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer today.

Merson has urged Manchester United boss Solskjaer to start Dean Henderson in front of David De Gea for the Man City clash.

Writing in his Daily Star column, he said: "The Manchester derby is a massive game for Solskjaer now. And he has to make a big decision and drop David De Gea.

"De Gea has let him down. He needs to play Dean Henderson instead. But will he? Can he make the big decisions? He didn't want to take Fred off and have the confrontation. He doesn't like it. But it's all too nice.

"Manchester City are not playing that great, and United can let them have the ball and play on the counter.

"But they've been giving up leads all over the place lately and you can't give City a head start or it could get messy."
