Official Manchester United lineup vs Fulham: New chance for Christian Eriksen | OneFootball

Manchester United have announced their starting lineup for the FA Cup clash against Fulham which is set to kick off at 16:30 UK time.

After labouring their way past Arsenal and Leicester City in previous rounds, the Red Devils were pitted against Fulham in the 5th round of the competition in a contest they’ll be hosting at Old Trafford.

The club’s official X account revealed the starting lineup, with Andre Onana starting between the posts despite his increasingly worrying form. With Lisandro Martinez out of action with an ACL injury, the backline will be constituted of Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro.

In the middle of the park, club captain Bruno Fernandes will link up with Manuel Ugarte in the double pivot. These two earn their spots ahead of Casemiro.

Patrick Dorgu will be serving a ban following his rash tackle in midweek against Ipswich Town, so Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui are the natural options for the wingback roles.
