Analysis Man Utd

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (Quarter‑finals) after having eliminated: Huddersfield Town, Yeovil Town and Derby County. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium.

Manchester United comes unmotivated for this match after being eliminated from the Champions League, losing at home against Sevilla by 1-2. We remember that the Red Devils beat Huddersfield in the last tie of the FA Cup. No major surprises, the coach Jose Mourinho should keep the team in 4-2-3-1 privileging the ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the right flank: Lingard is very fast and competent in transporting the ball to the attack. The forward Romelu Lukaku is Manchester United's top scorer in several competitions with 24 scored goals. Besides the quality of this player, we highlight the positioning of the Matic midfielder. For this match, the home team’s coach won’t count on Herrera, Ibrahimovic and Blind, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Romero, Luke Shaw, Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Jesse Lingard, Scott McTominay, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matić, Anthony Martial, Romelu Lukaku.
Coach: E. ten Hag.
