Revealed: Man United’s 22-man squad to take on Liverpool
Last Updated: January 24, 2021 2:49 pm
United host Liverpool
The marquee fixture of the FA Cup’s 4th-round is set to take place at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The clash in question will see historic rivalries renewed, when Manchester United and Liverpool face off for a place in the competition’s last-16.
Adding further spice to the occasion is of course the fact that the two sides only met last weekend, in a Premier League showdown at Anfield.
On that occasion, an altogether forgetful 90 minutes eventually saw the spoils shared, in a drab 0-0 stalemate.

Since, though, it is tomorrow’s hosts who have enjoyed the better of things.
Manchester United moved back to the summit of the English top-flight on Wednesday, courtesy of a hard-fought 2-1 win over Scott Parker’s Fulham.
Liverpool, on the other hand, saw their struggles to find the net continue, en route to a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Burnley.

Lindelof in/No Ighalo
As such, United will no doubt head into proceedings at Old Trafford tomorrow evening confident in their chances of compounding the woes of Jurgen Klopp and co.
And, as outlined above, ahead of their efforts to do precisely that, the Red Devils’ 22-man squad has this evening been revealed.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is once again blessed with close to a full complement of players, with star men David de Gea, Harry Maguire, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes all included, alongside injury concern Victor Lindelof.
There is no place, however, for youngster Amad Diallo, despite suggestions earlier today that the January arrival in Manchester may be rewarded for his fine early form in training with a spot on the bench.
Also not included are the trio of Jesse Lingard, Brandon Williams and Odion Ighalo.
Man United’s 22-man squad to face Liverpool, as confirmed by the Manchester Evening News:
David de Gea, Dean Henderson, Lee Grant, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Axel Tuanzebe, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Alex Telles, Fred, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Juan Mata, Donny van de Beek, Daniel James, Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood, Edinson Cavani, Marcus Rashford
