Ten Hag's last chance? Man Utd make their FA Cup debut vs Wigan with this lineup

Things have not gone as expected for Manchester United this season. They started the second half of 2023 with the aim of improving the performance of the previous season, in which they had been third in the Premier League, FA Cup finalists and Carabao Cup champions. But the opposite happened: they were eliminated in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup and in the group stage of the Champions League, while in the English league they are in eighth place and 14 points behind leaders Liverpool.

This has caused strong criticism of the squad's players. Many of them have had disappointing performances, especially those who arrived last summer for big money, such as Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund. And coach Erik Ten Hag has also been targeted by the press and fans. In fact, many believe that if The Red Devils fail to get a good result this Monday, it could be the end for the Dutch manager.

This is because the FA Cup may be Manchester United's last hope of winning a title this season. Their journey will begin at the DW Stadium against Wigan, in what will be the last match for the round of 64. Most of the English giants, such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have already advanced to the next stage.

The starting lineup decided by Erik Ten Hag is: Andre Onana; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Johnny Evans, Diogo Dalot; Scott McTominay, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes; Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho. In addition, the substitutes will be Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, Bennett, Kambwala, Forson, Hannibal Mejbri, Facundo Pellistri, Shoretire and Hugill.

It's a great opportunity for The Tree

Wigan Athletic will do their best to eliminate Manchester United, something that would be historic for them. However, it will be a difficult mission. They compete in League One, England's third division, and are showing a disappointing performance, as they are 18th in the standings. Coach Shaun Maloney chose this XI: Sam Tickle; Steven Sessegnon, Sean Clare, Liam Morrison, Charlie Hughes, Jordan Jones, Baba Adeeko, Liam Shaw, Thelo Aasgaard, Martial Godo, Stephen Humphrys.
