Man United travel to Wigan on Monday night as Erik ten Hag’s side looks to advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The tournament is the only chance the Manchester club will have to win a trophy this season following a poor first half of their campaign. Man United are out of both the Carabao Cup and Champions League, while the Red Devils sit eighth in the Premier League table.
United were defeated 2-1 by Nottingham Forest last time out and an FA Cup shock would be a disaster for Ten Hag on Monday night.
The Dutch coach has gone very strong for the game, making just two changes to the side that lost to Forest. Christian Eriksen and Antony come out of the starting 11 for Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund.
