Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round clash with West Ham United.

Manchester United could be without up to five players for Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round tie against West Ham United at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils head into their midweek clash after securing a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United in the EFL Cup final at Wembley on Sunday, ending the club's six-year wait to lift silverware.

Anthony Martial (hip), Christian Eriksen (ankle) and Donny van de Beek (knee) all remain sidelined due to injury, while Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Luke Shaw and Fred are doubtful and will be assessed ahead of kickoff.

After naming a strong side in last weekend's final, Ten Hag may consider freshening up his starting lineup on Wednesday, with either Tom Heaton or Jack Butland – the latter of whom still waiting for his debut following his January loan move from Crystal Palace – handed the number one jersey at the expense of David de Gea.

Captain Harry Maguire came on for the final three minutes at Wembley before lifting the trophy, and the centre-back could be handed a start against West Ham along with Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the back four.

Casemiro – who scored the opener against Newcastle – could continue in centre-midfield, and either Marcel Sabitzer or Scott McTominay may join the Brazilian in the first XI if Fred is not deemed fit to start.

Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho, meanwhile, will be looking to break up the attacking quartet of Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Wout Weghorst and Marcus Rashford, the latter of whom also found the net at Wembley and scored the only goal in a 1-0 Premier League win over West Ham earlier this season.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Heaton; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia; Casemiro, Sabitzer; Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst
