Manchester United will be hoping to take the momentum of Sunday's Carabao Cup win into their FA Cup fifth round tie with West Ham on Wednesday night.

Erik ten Hag's team are in such a good place right now that multiple trophies could yet be within their reach this season, with prospects in the Europa League also looking very good.

Here's a look at the team the Dutchman could pick for the visit of the Hammers.


Man Utd predicted lineup vs West Ham (4-2-3-1)

GK: David de Gea - The Carabao Cup final was his 181st clean sheet in United colours.

RB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Came on at half-time on Sunday and could get the nod to start here, having rotated with Diogo Dalot in 2023.

CB: Lisandro Martinez - It is mad that people were criticising the Argentine when he first arrived.

CB: Raphael Varane - Has taken time to find his feet and really get settled, but now a classy performer just as he was at Real Madrid.

LB: Tyrell Malacia - With Luke Shaw a slight injury doubt and arguably deserving of a rest, the Dutchman could come in as a like for like replacement.

CM: Casemiro - Continued to demonstrate against both Barcelona and Newcastle in the last week why he was worth every penny of that £60m.

CM: Marcel Sabitzer - With Fred a doubt, the January signing from Austria could get another run out.

RM: Jadon Sancho - Only appeared at the very end at Wembley so should be fresh to come back in.

AM: Bruno Fernandes - Arguably having his best all-round season since joining United, even if his measurable output remains down on his incredible 2020/21 goal and assist tallies.

LM: Marcus Rashford - Got the credit for the second goal against Newcastle, taking his tally for the season in all competitions to 25.

ST: Wout Weghorst - Goals haven't come easy for the Dutchman but he is still doing a job and is actually available, which is more than can be said for Anthony Martial.
