United have just completed a hectic 18-day period, playing six games, and this weekend's cup tie represents a chance to rotate the team and give some ever-presents a well-earned breather.
The boss would not be pressed on who might specifically be named in his starting XI, but hinted that Odion Ighalo would be part of his plans. Young Uruguayan striker Facundo Pellistri will not be involved, as he has tested positive for COVID-19 and will now undergo a period of self-isolation. New signing Amad Diallo is yet to start training with the first team, so will have to wait a little longer for his debut.
