This afternoon at Old Trafford, Manchester United will entertain Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round. The Red Devils defeated Ipswich Town 3-2 in the Premier League on Wednesday, a commanding victory.
Even after Patrick Dorgu was sent off prior to halftime, United put up a valiant fight to win. United will try to defeat the Cottagers at home today in order to continue defending the FA Cup.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Predicted Line-up:
Andre Onana has been the regular shot-stopper for the Red Devils. He is expected to continue in goal despite his blunder in midweek.
After his heroics against Arsenal, Altay Bayindir should be given more FA Cup playing time, but the Turkey international is currently sidelined. The back three ought to remain unchanged.
Against Fulham, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Leny Yoro are certain to retain their spots. Noussair Mazraoui should start at left wing-back with Diogo Dalot remaining on the other end, while Patrick Dorgu is suspended.
There is no reason to consider a change for Amorim because Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes have established a strong connection in the middle of the park.
Rasmus Hojlund is probably going to be benched in attack following yet another subpar performance. Against Ipswich, he only made five passes and did not attempt a single shot.
Christian Eriksen might be Alejandro Garnacho’s next attacking midfield partner. Despite his limited mobility, Eriksen’s inventiveness might be useful.
Despite being a forgotten member of the United team, Amorim ought to start the Dane over a struggling and unproductive Hojlund. Joshua Zirkzee has improved in the last few weeks.
When facing Marco Silva’s team, the Netherlands international is ready to take the lead. He scored the game-winning goal on his debut against Fulham in the Premier League opener in August, so he should have pleasant memories of playing them.
