Manchester United are aiming to build on their nervous 3-2 win against Ipswich Town when they host Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday.
The ten-man Red Devils stumbled to victory midweek to earn some much-needed respite but the pressure will return ahead of Sunday’s cup duel with the Cottagers. United have won both meetings 1-0 this season but that offers no guarantees of success this weekend.
Erik ten Hag’s FA Cup triumph last season was the only highlight of an otherwise miserable campaign and Ruben Amorim will be hopeful of similar salvation this term. The Portuguese is under immense scrutiny already and needs something to appease the club’s supporters.
For Fulham, this year offers genuine hope of a first piece of major silverware in the club’s history. With some of England’s top dogs having been dumped out of the competition, Marco Silva’s side could upset the odds. The inconsistent west Londoners only need two more wins in the competition to secure their Wembley berth in the semi-finals.
Patrick Dorgu endured a difficult evening against Ipswich, gifting the Tractor Boys their opener before being sent off. His three-game suspension is applicable in the FA Cup as well as the Premier League, meaning he will be absent on Sunday.
Alejandro Garnacho is the only new injury concern following the midweek clash, suffering a minor knock at Old Trafford. The winger, who was handed an unusual punishment for walking straight down the tunnel after his substitution against Ipswich, should feature according to Amorim.
However, the Portuguese confirmed that all those who missed the win over Ipswich will be absent on Sunday. That means that Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans are all unavailable in the defence.
Further forward, Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Toby Collyer and Amad Diallo will miss out.
