Confirmed United XI vs Coventry: Casemiro at centre-back, McTominay comes into midfield

Erik ten Hag has barely got enough fit Manchester United players to fill the squad for today’s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Willy Kambwala, Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat have been added to the already extensive queue at the physiotherapy room at Old Trafford.

This means that Harry Maguire is the only fit centre back in the squad, and so Casemiro will play alongside him in defence.

Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are the full backs and Andre Onana is in goal.

Kambwala joins Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia on the list of injured defenders.

In midfield, Scott McTominay takes over from Casemiro next to Kobbie Mainoo.

The only other fit senior midfield option is Christian Eriksen, who is on the bench.

Thankfully there are no more injuries up front, unless the warm-up yields another surprise.

This means Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford will form the attacking midfield, with Rasmus Hojlund ahead of them in the centre forward position.

Anthony Martial is still unavailable.

The injury crisis means a very youthful bench for the Red Devils.

Altay Bayindir is joined by Harry Amass, Louis Jackson, Habeeb Ogunneye, Amad, Omari Forson, Ethan Wheatley and the only two senior stars, Eriksen and Antony, who returns from injury.

Kick-off at Wembley will be at 3.30pm. The winner of today’s tie will play Manchester City in the final.
