A spot in the FA Cup last 16 will be at stake when Manchester United and Middlesbrough face each other at Old Trafford on Friday evening.
The Red Devils aim to build on back-to-back wins over Brentford and West Ham United, and the bookies see them as hot favorites to win the FA Cup game.
Mason Greenwood is out of contention as he was arrested following allegations of rape, while Eric Baily is back from international duty.
Friday’s game comes too early for Paul Pogba, who has been struggling with a hip injury. The Boro, on the other hand, did well to beat Coventry City 1-0 in their last Championship game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry at the “Theatre of Dreams”.
In their last meeting in a competitive match, back in 2017, Man Utd defeated Middlesbrough 3-1, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
This match will be played on 04/02/2022 at 21:00
Score Prediction: 2-0
Recommended pick: Home Win
