Nineteen points off top spot in the Premier League and unlikely to challenge in the Champions League, Manchester United will be very keen to go far in this season's FA Cup and beat Middlesbrough in their fourth round tie on Friday night.
Ralf Rangnick hasn't enjoyed the success he might have hoped for when he succeeded Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford, while Mason Greenwood's suspension has presented him with another problem to manage.
Manchester United's recent 1-0 win over West Ham will give them some confidence, though, for what's left of the season.
Ahead of the game, Rangnick has confirmed that both Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw will feature, though the Frenchman could start on the bench. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also expected to be available, as is Jadon Sancho. Jesse Lingard, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof and Edinson Cavani are all out of action, though.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough's Chris Wilder has his side playing well in the Championship and they are eyeing automatic promotion, currently eight points off in sixth place.
