Confirmed line-ups: Manchester United vs Reading (FA Cup)

Manchester United and Reading are facing off at Old Trafford in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Erik ten Hag and the Manchester United squad recently defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0 in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final, and are looking to continue re-building momentum after a draw with Crystal Palace and loss against Arsenal.

Ahead of the fixture, Ten Hag said on Manchester United’s schedule: “We have depth in the squad. That’s what we need when you have to cover 10 games in 30 days and hopefully, it will continue after that as well.”

“It’s tough, but it is always I feel better to have more games than we have training,” he continued. “Players like to have more games than they train. We are looking forward and I think they have a good spirit and good mood in this dressing room to cope with that.”
