Since the firing of Ruben Amorim and the appointment of Michael Carrick as interim manager through the end of the season, Manchester United’s mini resurgence has arguably been the biggest story in English soccer.
Carrick, who returned to Old Trafford on Jan. 13, has overseen four wins in his first five games. That run includes statement victories over Manchester City and Arsenal. The only blemish so far was a 1-1 draw away to West Ham United on Feb. 10.
The reason United are off this weekend
United will have to wait to try to return to winning ways, however, as they are, unusually, not in action this weekend. The FA Cup, rather than the Premier League, takes center stage.
Sixteen FA Cup games are scheduled between Friday, Feb. 13, and Monday, Feb. 16, but none feature United, who have already been eliminated from the competition.
How United’s FA Cup fortunes have shifted
Two days before Carrick’s appointment, the 13-time Premier League champions were beaten 2-1 by Brighton at Old Trafford in Darren Fletcher’s second game as caretaker manager. Fletcher, Carrick’s former United teammate, has since returned to his previous role with the club’s Under-18 team.
United have also won the FA Cup 13 times, but only three of those triumphs have come since 1999. Once the most decorated team in the competition’s history, they have been overtaken by Arsenal, who have lifted the trophy seven times in that span to move onto 14 total victories.
When is Manchester United’s next game?
Manchester United, currently fourth in the Premier League table, sit one point ahead of Chelsea and three clear of Liverpool. They are not back in action until Monday, Feb. 23, when they travel to Everton in league play.

It's largely due to the board's reluctance to allow that clueless Portuguese gaffer to overstay his welcome thereby wrecking damage to the team's chances by being knocked out from the FA cup.

They aren't playing because they don't deserve to be playing. They are still playing Premier League because it isn't a knockout competition
