Manchester United booked a place in the FA Cup semi-finals after a dramatic 4-3 win over Liverpool in extra-time.

Harry Maguire was named on the bench after returning from injury while Rasmus Hojlund was included in the starting XI.

The pair trained during the build-up to the match after sitting out the last few matches due to injury.

Although Erik ten Hag had stated that the game against Liverpool would come too soon for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Mason Mount, the pair featured at Old Trafford. Wan-Bissaka started in defence and Mount replaced Victor Lindelof during extra-time.

Red Devils boss Ten Hag will hope to welcome back more players during the international break. MEN Sport takes a look at the latest from the Red Devils’ treatment room.

Injury: Knock.

Expected return date: March 30 vs Brentford (A).

What Ten Hag has said: “We had two players on the pitch, they were not 100 per cent, Jonny Evans and Marcus Rashford, and they gave everything, as the whole team gave everything. I can’t tell you [if they will miss matches]. Finally they had to come off, but I [would have] preferred to keep them.”

Lisandro Martinez
Injury: Knee.

Return date: TBC.

What Ten Hag has said: “It’s a setback, of course. You see his contribution to the team when he’s playing. Apart from his technical skills, he also brings mentality into the team, but it’s a big setback. He’s disappointed, but he’s a fighter, he will be back and he will be back stronger.”

Luke Shaw
Injury: Unspecified.

Return date: TBC.

What Ten Hag has said: “Was precaution, Luke Shaw, he gave some messages about complaints. We know his history with too many injuries and we couldn’t go into the risk. [It was a] very important game, but we can’t miss him for six weeks.”

Injury: Unspecified.

Return date: TBC.

What Ten Hag has said: “Malacia will take some more weeks. Yeah, he had setbacks during his rehab process. It takes too long, it’s bad for him. Bad for us. But now, we turned a point and it’s positive, he will return soon on the pitch. I don’t think then it will take long before he’s returning in the team training.”

Omari Forson
Injury: Unspecified.

Return date: TBC.

What Ten Hag has said: “They [Rashford and Evans] recovered after the derby, so they were available [for the Everton game], the rest is the same squad apart from Omari Forson. He dropped out, he has an injury.”
