Confirmed United XI vs Fulham: Eriksen, Mazraoui in for Dorgu and Garnacho

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has, as expected, fielded a strong side to face Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round today.

With the Red Devils languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, winning a cup may be their best chance of qualifying for European football next season.

Andre Onana is in goal.

The back three is unchanged, with Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro operating from right to left, respectively.

Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui are the wing backs.

Patrick Dorgu is suspended following his red card against Ipswich on Wednesday.

Manuel Ugarte will partner either Bruno Fernandes or Christian Eriksen in central midfield, with the other one joining the attack.

Rasmus Hojlund will lead the line while Josh Zirkzee is the other twin 10.

Alejandro Garnacho drops to the bench, this is probably due to his having picked up a knock in training rather than because of his poor reaction to being subbed on Wednesday.

Joining him on the bench are Hubert Graczyk, 17-year-old ‘keeper Will Murdock, Victor Lindelof, Ayden Heaven, Casemiro and Chido Obi.

Amorim still has multiple injury problems, with Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Toby Collyer, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and Amad all unavailable.

Kick off at Old Trafford is at 4.30pm GMT.
