Manchester United are flying high this week after moving into the top 3 of the Premier League table, thanks to a big win over Leeds on Sunday. Before continuing their quest to climb the domestic table however, the Reds have a League Cup detour in the shape of a quarterfinal away at Everton at Wednesday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a fairly fit squad to choose from. Aaron-Wan Bissaka and Scott McTominay will both miss the trip to Goodison Park with minor injuries, but both players were likely to be rotated anyway. Bruno Fernandes is probably due a rest as well, as is Victor Lindelöf, who has been playing through discomfort this season. The good news is that Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matić, and Donny van de Beek — arguably United’s strongest midfield on paper — are all raring to go after sitting out the weekend win. Solskjaer has also confirmed that Jesse Lingard will be in the squad.
