Sheffield United vs. Manchester United: most recent injury updates, squad news, and expected lineup.
27 Apr
After their thrilling FA Cup semifinal match, Manchester United will play again in the Premier League on Wednesday when they host Sheffield United at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag’s team avoided a serious scare against Coventry, defeating the Championship team on penalties after squandering a three-goal lead, but only after setting up a rematch of last year’s final against Manchester City.
Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat, and Willy Kambwala were all ruled out of the trip to Wembley on the eve of that game, forcing ten Hag to select Casemiro and Harry Maguire as his center-half combination.

Even worse, it seemed like United lost Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay to injuries in extra time. Both players were seen hobbling into the mixed zone following the game.
In addition to Kambwala, the injured players Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia were also absent from Sunday’s semi-final, along with Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, and Victor Lindelof.
The Dutchman hopes to have a few alternatives available for the FA Cup final on May 25, but he hinted in his post-match remarks that it could be doubtful that he would return before Sheffield United visits on Wednesday.
“It would be beneficial if we could get a few fit returning players back into the squad,” Ten Hag stated.
“You don’t even need 11 players to beat Manchester City—you just need a squad.”Varane was out for “a few weeks” after the 11 April loss to Chelsea, while Evans’ injury—which had kept him out before the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth—was believed to be a minor problem. To make matters worse, before yesterday’s game, Maguire had only trained once the previous week due to an injury.
In the middle of that defensive crisis, striker Ethan Wheatley traveled to the capital with the matchday squad, which also featured 18-year-old center-half Louis Jackson and fullbacks Harry Amass and Habeeb Ogunneye.
When Ten Hag addresses the media on Tuesday, he’s anticipated to reveal more details on his defensive choices as well as those involving Rashford, Mount, and McTominay.
Amad Diallo, who came on for injured Marcus Rashford in extra time on Sunday, will be hoping to make his first Premier League start of the year.
