Manchester United have already received a huge boost for Sunday afternoon’s FA Cup semi-final against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Red Devils were recently knocked out of the Europa League after a 5-2 aggregate loss to Sevilla in the quarter-finals.
Erik ten Hag will want a strong response from his side against the Seagulls at Wembley.
United have already received a major pre-game boost with Bruno Fernandes available for selection following his midweek European ban.
The Portuguese was a big loss for the Red Devils in Sevilla. Without his presence on the pitch, the club lacked creativity in the final third.
Marcel Sabitzer started from position 10 on Thursday evening. In the disappointing 3-0 defeat, he managed only 58% of his passes.
He is expected to be on the bench for Fernandes tomorrow. The 28-year-old will be determined to deliver after missing out on the trip to Andalusia.
Fernandes has been a revelation for United since resuming after the World Cup break. He scored seven goals and provided 10 assists.
In addition to his goal contributions, he has also created some great chances in the last third.
Therefore, his availability is a huge plus for United. In addition to his creativity, the Portuguese also has better leadership credentials than Harry Maguire.
Fernandes is expected to lead the team against the Seagulls at Wembley. Maguire will not play in the semifinals due to his one-game suspension.
United face a tough challenge against one of the best attacking sides in the country and will need to do their best to progress to the final.
