United is looking at possibly sitting without 5 players for the 5th round against West Ham during the FA Cup.
In their last 5 matches, United has managed to win 4 and drew only 1.
Last weekend The Red Devils clashed with Newcastle at Wembley Stadium. United found the back of the net twice with goals from Casemiro and Rashford in the first half. This secured the EFL trophy for the 6th time after their last victory was in 2017.

After their match against Nottingham Forest, Anthony Martial sustained a hip injury which he is still recovering from. He was cleared to play in their match against Palace beginning of Feb. After another apparent injury he, unfortunately, missed the game.
Muscular issues have been the prominent reason why Martial has missed the last 18 games.
Ten hang said: “He is not always available. Also, I see the other side of when he is available, and he has never been 100 percent this season. But he has a big impact every time he is available, even when he is at 80, 85, or 90 percent. So, we do everything, and Anthony Martial is doing everything.
Anthony Martial I think is the player who spends the most hours at Carrington this season, to return, to recover, to get back. It is really such a pity for him and us. He is disappointed, and he is not always available like we want him to be. That will improve our game because routines cannot continue when you are not always available.”

Ten Hag also added that Luke Shaw and Fred are unlikely to make their match tomorrow.
2 Other players have been sidelined with long-term injuries.
The 25-year-old Donny van de Beek sustained a knee injury in their match against Bournemouth on January 3rd, after challenging their midfielder, Senesi.
Also, out for the count is Christian Eriksen. The midfielder has made 31 appearances this season but sustained an ankle injury against Reading in the FA Cup.
We will see the return of Tyrell Malacia and Marcel Sabitzer for the starting XI. Harry Maquire, Victor Lindehof and Jadon Sancho will also be considered for the starting line tomorrow.
Even with the unfortunate news, Man United are still seen as the favorites in their match against the Hammers tomorrow.
In their last 6 meetings, United has been victorious.
