Manchester United XI vs Fulham: Confirmed squad news, expected line-up, injury latest for today’s FA Cup game

The influential Brazilian midfielder was sent off for the second time this season in last week’s frustrating Premier League home draw with relegation strugglers Southampton and will now miss four crucial games for Erik’s side ten Hag.

Anthony Martial is also unlikely to be available for this afternoon’s Round of 16 at Old Trafford despite the Frenchman’s recent return to training after hip problems.

Winger Antony missed the Europa League Round of 16 second-leg win over Real Betis on Thursday night due to illness and could sit out here again.

However, Marcel Sabitzer, on loan from Bayern Munich, will likely start in place of Casemiro in midfield against Fulham as attention turns to the bid to travel to Wembley for the second time this season for the winners of the Carabao Cup.

Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek are both long-term absentees for United, with Alejandro Garnacho also out for several weeks with an ankle injury.

Predicts Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Sabitzer, Fred; Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst.

Hurt: Garnacho, Eriksen, Van de Beek

Doubts: Martial, Antoine

Suspended: Casemiro

Time and date: Sunday March 19, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. GMT
