Manchester United will be looking to keep their hopes of retaining their FA Cup crown alive when they face Fulham in the fifth round at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

United got back to winning ways in midweek with an hard-fought 3-2 win over Ipswich Town at Old Trafford. Harry Maguire headed in a second half winner to seal a much-needed victory for the 10-man Reds.

That marked United's first win in four matches and they will be determined to build on that triumph when they welcome Marco Silva's men to M16. United will be aiming to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the tenth time in the last 11 seasons.

Ahead of the visit of the Londoners, head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed he does not expect to recover any players from injury, meaning he will select from the same pool of players that featured against Ipswich, minus the suspended Patrick Dorgu.

Below, our writers have each had their say on how they would like to see the Reds line up:

Samuel Luckhurst

The wings are the biggest problem again for United, with no credible senior left-footer available. So it has to be Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui, a collaboration that has hampered United as an attacking side.

Mazraoui for the suspended Dorgu and Christian Eriksen for Rasmus Hojlund should be the only changes. Benching Rasmus Hojlund and bringing him on could jolt him. Hojlund was dropped for the final matches of last season and emerged to score against Newcastle United and Brighton.

Eriksen has been underused since he recovered from illness and he could have a key role in today's cup tie.

Two changes

Steven Railston

Amorim's hands are tied due to injuries and there's not much he can change. Yoro played on the left side of the back-three for the first time against Ipswich and should start there again today.

Fernandes had a hand in all three goals on Wednesday night and Roy Keane's criticism of him was wide of the mark, as he's continued to make things happen this season in a struggling team.

Eriksen could play in the right No.10 role, but perhaps it's time to give Moorhouse his debut. The youngster's ball carrying ability is exceptional and it would make the fixture more interesting if Amorim rolled the dice by starting Jack Moorhouse, who has impressed United's head coach.

George Smith

As Steven had already said, Amorim does not have an awful lot of scope to mix things up, meaning changes are likely to be kept to a minimum this afternoon. Mazraoui is the obvious candidate to come into the team to replace Dorgu, meaning Dalot should revert back to the left flank.

Ugarte and Fernandes have forged a promising central-midfield partnership in recent matches and should start next to each other once again.

In attack, Alejandro Garnacho should start if he overcomes his fitness concern. Joshua Zirkzee has been steadily improving since moving to the right-sided No.10 role and should start in that berth again.
