Fans were speculating as to who would play at the back ahead of the game, and a surprise name has been listed in defence.

‘Casemiro CB I am scared,’ said one fan. 

‘Dalot, Casemiro, Maguore, AWB… here we see Manchester United with their *checks notes* 127th different back four this season,’ joked another. 

Another admitted that they were worried after seeing Casemiro in an even more defensive role.

‘Bringing Casemiro’s brand of chaotic slide tackling into the box is going to give me a heart attack today I can already tell,’ they said. 

The Red Devils know that victory will see them set up an FA Cup final against rivals Man City.
