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

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has yet another new selection concern to work around for Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round scrap with Fulham at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils made hard work of their 3-2 Premier League win over Ipswich Town in midweek, thanks in no small part to Patrick Dorgu's first-half red card for serious foul play.

Dorgu will now commence a three-game domestic suspension, joining Lisandro Martinez (ACL), Amad Diallo (ankle), Luke Shaw (calf), Jonny Evans (back), Mason Mount (thigh), Kobbie Mainoo, Toby Collyer, Tom Heaton and Altay Bayindir (all unspecified) on Man United's absentee list.

Dorgu's dismissal against Ipswich unsurprisingly triggered the introduction of Noussair Mazraoui, who will certainly be called upon to deputise for the Dane from the first whistle on Sunday.

Mazraoui's gain was Alejandro Garnacho's loss in midweek, and the peeved Argentine trudged straight down the tunnel as he was substituted, which led to a punishment in the shape of having to pay for a team dinner.

Garnacho is also a minor doubt for this contest due to a knock, but speaking to the media on Friday, Amorim expressed optimism that the winger would be OK to hold his place.

However, the struggling Rasmus Hojlund might be at risk of the axe, as Amorim could elect to start Bruno Fernandes and Garnacho in support of Joshua Zirkzee, thus bringing Casemiro into midfield alongside Manuel Ugarte.

Owing to a lack of defensive cover, though, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt should all continue in front of Andre Onana, at equal fault with Dorgu for Ipswich's opener last time out.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Maguire; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dalot; Garnacho, Fernandes; Zirkzee
