Manchester United will look to extend their FA Cup defense as they host Fulham at Old Trafford in the fifth round on Sunday.
The Red Devils, fresh off a hard-fought Premier League victory over Ipswich Town, are hoping to continue their quest for successive FA Cup crowns, having overcome Leicester City in controversial circumstances during the previous round. However, they face a tricky opponent in Marco Silvaβs Fulham, who have been in good form recently, with four wins in their last five games across all competitions. Team News: Manchester United have been plagued by injuries this season, and this match will see the absence of several key players. New signing Patrick Dorgu will miss the match due to a three-game domestic ban following a red card in the win over Ipswich. In addition to Dorgu, the Red Devils will be without Lisandro Martinez (ACL), Amad Diallo (ankle), Luke Shaw (calf), Jonny Evans (back), and Mason Mount (thigh). Kobbie Mainoo, Toby Collyer, Tom Heaton, and Altay Bayindir are also sidelined with unspecified injuries. Despite the injuries, United will look to strengthen their lineup with the return of Noussair Mazraoui, who could step in following Dorguβs suspension. Alejandro Garnacho, who had to be substituted in midweek due to a knock, is also a doubt, though manager Ruben Amorim remains optimistic that he will feature. Possible Starting Lineup Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Maguire; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dalot; Garnacho, Fernandes; Zirkzee. Kickoff Time: The English FA Cup game will commence at exactly 5:30 PM (Nigerian Time). From Opera News Source: https://news-af.feednews.com/news/detail/65fa379870bdbb76c66e2fbdd7cc5a73?client=news
