Confirmed United XI vs Coventry: Casemiro at centre Back, McTominay comes into midfield

Erik ten Hag has just enough healthy Manchester United players to field a side for today’s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Willy Kambwala, Mason Mount, and Sofyan Amrabat have joined the already long wait inside the physiotherapy room at Old Trafford.

This means that Harry Maguire is the only fit centre back in the team, thus Casemiro will partner him in defence.

Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are the fullbacks, with Andre Onana in goal.

Kambwala joins Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia as injured defenders.

In midfield, Scott McTominay replaces Casemiro next to Kobbie Mainoo.

Christian Eriksen is the only other fit senior midfield option, and he is on the bench.

Fortunately, there are no more injuries up front, unless the warm-up reveals another surprise.

This implies that Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, and Marcus Rashford will constitute the offensive midfield, with Rasmus Hojlund ahead of them in the centre forward position.

Anthony Martial is still unavailable.

The injury situation has resulted in a fairly young bench for the Red Devils.

Altay Bayindir is joined by Harry Amass, Louis Jackson, Habeeb Ogunneye, Amad, Omari Forson, Ethan Wheatley, and the only two senior players, Eriksen and Antony, who have returned from injury.

Kickoff at Wembley Stadium is at 3.30pm. The victor of today’s tie will face Manchester City in the final.
