Manchester United will be bidding to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup when they welcome West Ham United to Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils claimed their first silverware in six years on Sunday afternoon courtesy of a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United in the EFL Cup final.
Marcus Rashford played an important role in the win, with the 25-year-old netting Man United's second of the match at Wembley, with his strike being deflected past Loris Karius.
The England international has now netted 25 times and registered nine assists in 38 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side during the 2022-23 campaign.

The forward has faced West Ham on 17 occasions during his professional career, which is the joint-most of any side alongside Manchester City, who he has also tackled 17 times as a first-team player.
Rashford has a strong record against the Hammers, posting 10 wins, four draws and three defeats, with three of those matches taking place in the FA Cup.
The attacker has won two and drawn one of his three previous FA Cup clashes with the Hammers, scoring against them in a 2-1 success in a sixth-round replay in 2015-16.
Rashford also faced West Ham in the fifth round in 2020-21, providing the assist for Scott McTominay to win it for the 20-time English champions in extra-time.

The Englishman has faced the London club once in the EFL Cup, meanwhile, featuring as a late substitute in Man United's 4-1 victory in the quarter-finals of the 2016-17 competition.
As expected, the bulk of Rashford's outings against West Ham have been in the Premier League, winning seven, drawing three and losing three of his 13 league fixtures versus the Hammers.
Rashford has actually scored in three of his last four league appearances against the London club, including netting the winner in the Premier League clash at Old Trafford earlier this season.
The attacker also hit the winner in a 1-0 home success for Man United in the league last term, so he will be bidding to net for the third match in a row against them at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
