Manchester United XI vs Man City: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for FA Cup final
Anthony Martial is one of a number of Manchester United players who have been ruled out of Saturday’s FA Cup final.
Martial tore his hamstring in United’s final Premier League game of the season and so will play no part in the first-ever FA Cup final to be contested by both Manchester clubs.
A United club statement confirmed: “Anthony Martial is out of Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup final against Manchester City due to injury.”
Elsewhere, Lisandro Martinez, Antony and Marcel Sabitzer remain out with long-term injuries, while squad player Donny van de Beek is “not far away” from a return — though he won’t be fit in time for Saturday’s final.
United are bidding to win a domestic cup double, having defeated Newcastle 2-0 in the final of the EFL Cup back in February.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Christian Eriksen were rested for the 2-1 win over Fulham last weekend, but all four are expected to return to face City in the final.
Predicted Man Utd XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Garnacho, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford.
