Marcus Rashford will make his first start for Manchester United since suffering a groin injury earlier this month in today’s FA Cup semi-final vs Brighton.

The 25-year-old made his return in Thursday’s Europa League defeat to Sevilla, coming off the bench at half time but failed to make a significant impact on the game.

Erik ten Hag has made three changes from Seville as Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw come into the side, replacing Jadon Sancho, Marcel Sabitzer and Harry Maguire.

Shaw is expected to line-up at left centre-back alongside Victor Lindelof, with Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as full-backs.

Anthony Martial came off injured in the embarrassment on Thursday but is fit enough to start and leads the line for Manchester United at Wembley.

Evan Ferguson has missed out on involvement in the Brighton squad after suffering an ankle injury against Chelsea last week, despite rumours he could still feature.

Roberto De Zerbi has made two changes to the Seagulls side that won at Stamford Bridge, with 19-year-old Julio Enciso replacing Ferguson and Joel Veltman makes way for Danny Welbeck.
