Manchester United are looking to set up a date with Southampton at Wembley in the EFL Cup final at the end of February as they travel to Hull City in their semi-final second leg this evening.
The Red Devils carry a 2-0 lead on aggregate from the first leg against Marco Silva’s relegation battling Tigers.
José Mourinho will be hoping for a straightforward route to the final this evening ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup tie at home to Wigan Athletic.
The two teams for this evening’s game have been confirmed as:
Hull City
TBC
Substitutes:
Manchester United
David de Gea; Matteo Darmian, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo; Ander Herrera, Michael Carrick; Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford; Zlatan Ibrahimović
Substitutes: Sergio Romero, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Luke Shaw, Marouane Fellaini, Juan Mata, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Wayne Rooney
José Mourinho has named a strong starting lineup and substitutes bench this evening, showing respect to the hosts and their manager.
Chris Smalling returns to renew his partnership with Phil Jones in the centre of defence with Marcos Rojo pushing out to left-back. Luke Shaw takes his place among the substitutes having not been in Mourinho’s plans of late after fully recovering from injury. Matteo Darmian plays at right-back to give Antonio Valencia a rest.
Michael Carrick and Ander Herrera will start in front of the back four with the experienced Englishman almost-certain to be rested for the FA Cup tie at the weekend. Jesse Lingard will start on the right wing and the exciting Marcus Rashford plays out on the left with a rare start in recent months.
Zlatan Ibrahimović leads the line up front with Wayne Rooney on the bench and no place in the team for Anthony Martial.
