Manchester United XI vs Coventry City: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for FA Cup

Manchester United are facing a defensive crisis for their FA Cup semi-final against Coventry.

Harry Maguire is the only senior centre-back available to Erik ten Hag after Willy Kambwala joined Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans on the sidelines.

Kambwala has not travelled with the United squad to London due to an injury. Ten Hag has added 18-year-old defender Louis Jackson to his squad and has this week even tested midfielder Casemiro as a potential emergency centre-back alongside Maguire.

Maguire has himself been struggling with an injury issue but is fit to play, with Casemiro alongside him.

"Harry, all game against Bournemouth, he struggled,” said Ten Hag on Friday. “He had an issue. He had a small injury and didn't train this week, so far. But, now, he's back on the pitch. So we expect him, today, back in the team training. He will be available, I think and I hope, for Sunday."

Mason Mount has also been added to a lengthy injury list that includes Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw. Antony and Scott McTominay are set to return. Rashford starts up front.

Youngsters Ethan Wheatley, Harry Amass and Habeeb Ogunneye have made the trip to London.
