Erik ten Hag makes two changes for FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool
Mason Mount has returned to Manchester United's matchday squad for the first time in four months as Erik ten Hag welcomed back a host of injured stars for today's FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool.
Ten Hag has been hamstrung by not being able to name his strongest team in recent months, with £60million summer signing Mount a long-term absentee with a calf problem.
Mount starts this one on the bench, but Rasmus Hojlund and Aaron Wan-Bissaka both return to the starting XI.
Hojlund's return is big for United having missed the last four games. Ten Hag's side have lacked a focal point through the middle and the Dane was in fine form before picking up an injury.
Wan-Bissaka's return to the side means that Diogo Dalot will switch over to left back, while Victor Lindelof, who played at left back against Everton, will slot into centre back alongside Raphael Varane.
Brazil confirmed on Sunday morning that Casemiro was injured and he drops out of the side with Scott McTominay slotting in alongside Kobbie Mainoo at the base of United's midfield.
Marcus Rashford continues down the left while in-form Alejandro Garnacho plays down the right. Bruno Fernandes is at No 10.
'All this week, the excitement around Carrington has been obvious,' Ten Hag wrote in his programme notes.
'I don't need to explain to anybody the significance and size of this game.
'We have the two greatest clubs in English football, with the greatest pedigree and rivalry facing each other.'
