Man United cruised into the quarterfinals of the Europa League by beating Real Betis and next up, they face Fulham in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Man United have quickly gotten back on track after that 7-0 loss to Liverpool and after the Carabao Cup, they have now a very realistic chance of winning the FA Cup as well.
Fulham have lost their previous two matches whereas Manchester United are unbeaten in 22 home games and unless the home side makes major blunders, they should be through to the semis very smoothly.
Manchester United are out of the Premier League title race so their main focus now will be to secure a Champions League spot and then pick up as much silverware as possible by the end of May.
Manchester United’s team news and injuries:
The biggest setback for the Man United boss will be the absence of Casemiro who is suspended after picking up a red card against Southampton.
Apart from the Brazilian, Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen are also missing and this has forced many experts to believe that Ten Hag could use Lisandro Martinez in defensive midfield.
However, we don’t think the manager is going to walk in that direction because he’s already talked about this possible tactical rotation when he was the Ajax manager.
“Daley Blind does not have the running capacity to play in midfield. And neither does Martinez,” Ten Hag had said, as pointed out by 90Min.
Another reason not to use Licha in midfield is that Marcel Sabitzer is back to full fitness and he even played 30 minutes on Thursday night.
Antony missed the Europa League tie due to a fever but should be fit to play on Sunday. If somehow he is not available then Pellestri will be in line to start because Jadon Sancho doesn’t prefer the right wing.
Anthony Martial has returned to training and there’s a chance he will be fit to be part of the matchday squad.
Man United predicted line up vs Fulham:
Predicted Starting Line up(4-2-3-1): De Gea; Martinez, Varane, Luke Shaw, Wan-Bissaka; Fernandes, Fred, Sabitzer; Rashford, Weghorst, Antony/Pellistri.
