Owner of the runner-up last season Although facing the team ranked 18th in League One, manager Eric Ten Hag Manchester United Fully loaded for the real 11 players.

Rasmus Hoylund, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Carnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Cobby Mainu, Scott McTho Miney, Andre Onana, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka started the first 11 in this game.

Of course, there is no need for any rotation as they now have only one trophy left to win. Plus, this month there are only two scheduled matches to play (Wigan and Spurs).

Therefore, Ten Hag and the players have time to fully focus on every game remaining this season.

For the next FA Cup round or the 4th round, Manchester United will meet the winner between Newport/Eastleigh (away)

Facing a low-level team that wasn’t very strong It was a good opportunity for Rasmus Hoylund to build his confidence. After previously unlocking the first goal in the Premier League on Boxing Day.

This season in the English Premier League, the 20-year-old Danish national team striker has missed nine golden opportunities – the joint-fifth most.

In last night’s FA Cup game, he missed two golden chances out of four. It’s a game where he should have been a scorer to give himself momentum.

You can’t blame luck for this. Blame his lack of determination…
