Man Utd face Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium this weekend and here is the early team news.

Manchester United will need a huge improvement when they face Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium this Sunday afternoon.

It has been a hugely disappointing season so far for Erik ten Hag's side, but they know they can salvage some pride if they manage to lift the famous cup at the end of it.

Championship side Coventry are standing in their way, and with their play-off dreams now all but over, they will be fully focused on reaching the final of the competition that they famously won in 1987.

In order to do so, both sides will be without a number of key players. United hope to have both Antony and Harry Maguire fit for the Wembley showpiece after recent scares, while Coventry striker Matty Godden returned from a calf injury last weekend.

Here is a look at the confirmed early team news for the semi-final...

1 . Victor Lindelof - Injured The Sweden international was expected to miss around a month of football after he suffered a muscle injury in the draw with Brentford. He won't be back until May.

2 . Lisandro Martinez - Injured

3 . Raphael Varane - Injured Varane was ruled out for a 'few weeks' following the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea a fortnight ago. He hopes to be back before the end of the season but will miss the FA Cup semi-final.
4 . Anthony Martial - Injured We might have seen the last of Martial in a United shirt. Ten Hag confirmed he has returned to individual training but is yet to take part in a group session. The United manager said it is down to him whether or not he plays for the club again.
