Manchester United will lock horns with Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium this Monday night as they try to secure a good result in the FA Cup. The Red Devils suffered a 2-1 loss away at Nottingham Forest recently, so they would be keen on securing a victory in this cup game.
Erik ten Hag will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and could name a strong first team for this contest. Rasmus Hojlund is expected to spearhead Man United’s attack on the attacking end of the field.
Defence
Andre Onana will feature in between the sticks for Man United as he looks to keep a clean sheet on the road this Monday night. Jonny Evans will resume his defensive partnership with Raphael Varane at the centre of ten Hag’s defence as they hope to keep things solid on the defensive third of the pitch.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka will fill in as the right-back while Diogo Dalot hopes to give a good account of himself on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them would have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Sergio Reguilon will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench. However, Harry Maguire is unlikely to recover in time for this game.

Midfield
Kobbie Mainoo and Scott McTominay will anchor the midfield for the Red Devils as they try to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park. The gifted trio of Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford will operate just ahead of them as part of Man United’s attack.
Antony will have to settle for a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second half if ten Hag opts to call upon his services.
Attack
Rasmus Hojlund will lead the charge for the Mancunian club in the final third after missing their last game due to an illness. He would be eager to make a difference for Man United up top.
Amad Diallo will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if Barca are in need of a goal by then.
