Manchester United and Fulham will face off at Old Trafford for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.

With the fixture set to kick off on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United will be looking to make their second trip to Wembley this season after it became the site of Erik ten Hag‘s first trophy as United manager.

United have had multiple clashes with refereeing decisions in recent matches, with Ten Hag recently claiming that the fixture against Southampton last weekend.

He further discussed Casemiro’s red card during the tie, explaining: “Casemiro has played over 500 games in Europe. He never had a red card. Now, in 20 games in the Premier League he has [two], so… What I think is the inconsistency, players don’t know any more what the policy is.”

The match officials for this tie have been confirmed.

Match referee

Chris Kavanagh is the man who will be in charge of the fixture, refereeing his second FA Cup match this season.

He has officiated one Manchester United match so far this season; the 1-0 Premier League home victory over West Ham in October, and was the fourth official during United’s 7-0 loss against Liverpool.

Assistant referees

Kavanagh will be assisted by Scott Ledger and Steven Meredith on the sidelines.

Video Assistant Referee

VAR will be handled by Neil Swarbrick, who has not officiated in the Premier League on-field this season. He will be assisted by Natalie Aspinall.

Fourth official

David Coote will be the man to keep ordering a technical area as Erik ten Hag and Marco Silva will no doubt be active on the touchline this coming Sunday.

Coote was the match referee for United’s Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle.
