Match preview
In the FA Cup quarter finals on Sunday, Manchester United will host Fulham in the fifth round, the Cottagers defeated Leeds United 2-0 to advance, while the Red Devils pulled off a 3-1 comeback victory over West Ham United.
Although Erik ten Hag’s team had some difficulties recently owing to their busy schedule, they were still able to easily defeat Real Betis in the Europa League Round of 16 despite this.
On Thursday, Marcus Rashford’s thundering long-range goal handed them a 1-0 win in the second leg, and United won the match 5-1 overall.
Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United last advanced to the FA Cup semi finals in the 2019–20 season. Ten Hag, who has performed admirably in cup tournaments this season, is unlikely to be unaware that a victory over Marco Silva’s team will need sacrifice and hard work.
After winning the Carabao Cup, a domestic cup double is very much within their grasp, but facing an effective Fulham team without Casemiro might be challenging.
Last Sunday, Arsenal brutally demolished Fulham. The Gunners defeated them 3-0 after dominating them in the first half. It was always going to be challenging to travel to the Emirates without Joao Palhinha, who was serving a two-game suspension.
However, Fulham will be happy to have the Portuguese midfielder back in the lineup for the match against Manchester United on Sunday. Since the 2009–10 campaign, Fulham has not advanced farther than the FA Cup quarter final round.
The return of Joao Palhinha is a huge win for Fulham. Manchester United will suffer a great deal from Casemiro’s absence. But, with their superior quality across the board, the Red Devils could take advantage of the Cottagers’ defensive shortcomings.
Although it won’t be easy, Ten Hag’s team will probably advance past Fulham in the FA Cup quarter finals.
