Huddersfield V Manchester United - Preview and possible lineups

Huddersfield: The hosts will be without midfielder Aaron Mooy after a cut to his knee sustained in the game against Bournemouth last weekend became infected, whilst playmaker Alex Pritchard is cup-tied. Defenders Michael Hefele (illness) and Chris Lowe (hamstring) are expected to miss out, though striker Laurent Depoitre (ankle), midfielder Danny Williams (dead leg) and defender Tommy Smith (concussion) are all back in contention.

Man Utd: Defender Eric Bailly is fit to feature following three months out due to ankle surgery, though midfielder Ander Herrera and striker Marcus Rashford are both unavailable with muscle problems. Under-fire midfielder Paul Pogba is expected start the game, whilst striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is continuing his recovery from knee trouble and will sit out, along with Marouane Fellaini (knee) and Daley Blind (ankle).

Huddersfield boss David Wagner on the club's priorities:

“The priority since day one is the Premier League. 

“This doesn’t mean automatically that we don’t like to be successful in the other competitions as well.

“The players fought for 120 minutes in the replay against Birmingham to come into the fifth round and to play United at home.

“We are happy and excited to be involved in this game. For our fans, this is our present for them.”

Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho:

"In the FA Cup we went very serious. Obviously Huddersfield is a much better team than Yeovil with different ambitions.

"Yeovil wanted to be a giant-killer, Huddersfield wants to progress and try to make something beautiful in the cup. 

"We have to be ready. We played Huddersfield recently and we know how they try to play. We lost a few months ago in their stadium so I don’t think we can be caught by surprise."
