Nottingham Forest vs Man United – FA Cup fifth-round: Live score, team news and updates as Erik ten Hag looks to ease pressure on his job after Fulham defeat by booking spot in last eight

Interesting team news from Manchester United.

Bruno Fernandes and Raphael Varane have both won their races to be fit for tonight.

The notable team news is the recall of Antony and Amrabat to the starting XI.

Both have fallen down the pecking order in recent weeks.

Ten Hag gave both men the opportunity to shine tonight.

Here’s how the hosts line up for tonight’s match.

Fortunately, there is no sign of Nuno Espirito Santo resting players for the Premier League relegation battle.

Nottingham forest: Turner; Williams, Felipe, Murillo, Toffolo; Danilo, Yates; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Awoniyi; Origin.

Mail Sport’s Nathan Salt is at the City Ground as the Man Unite squad arrive ahead of tonight’s match.

The team news should be fascinating as Ten Hag tries to get a reaction to the loss to Fulham.

We know Harry Maguire has already been ruled out due to injury, while Ten Hag confirmed that Bruno Fernandes and Raphael Varane are doubts.

Could there be a recall for Antony tonight and possible involvement of more youngsters from the club?

It won’t be long before we find out…

Erik ten Hag has gone on the attack in recent days after Man United’s unbeaten run against Fulham came to a shuddering halt.

The Dutchman batted away questions about his future during his press conference ahead of tonight’s match.

Ten Hag has insisted he does not need a public vote of confidence from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner of Manchester United.

Ratcliffe had given a lukewarm response to questions about Ten Hag’s future after completing its £1.3 billion investment last week

“I’m under contract for three seasons, so that doesn’t matter to me,” said Ten Hag. I just focus on the process, so I don’t care what’s going on around me.

I have a lot of conversations with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, also with Sir Dave Brailsford and others in that group, so I know where we stand and I feel like they believe in me.

Oddly enough, at least for me, the FA Cup quarter-final draw will take place ahead of tonight’s matches.

The draw will take place at 7pm on ITV4, ahead of their coverage of Chelsea’s match against Leeds United.

The route to Wembley therefore becomes clearer for Nottingham Forest and Man United.

Only it won’t be relevant to tonight’s losing team…
