A closer look at the next FA Cup matchup for Manchester United
Manchester United are finally through to the next round of the FA Cup. The Red Devils faced a tough battle against Nottingham Forest in the fifth round. However, Casemiro stood up to the challenge and helped his team get past thanks to his 89th minute winner.
Erik ten Hag has come one step closer to saving his job at the helm of United. However, the FA Cup quarter-finals could change all of that. The FA Cup is the Old Trafford squad’s last hope for a trophy this season. So, any slipping up can have grave consequences for the Dutchman.
Man United will be taking on Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool for their FA Cup quarter-final. The last time these two teams faced off was back in December. Both sides fought hard, but the game ended in a 0-0 draw.
The result might’ve been close but anyone who watched the game can tell that Jurgen Klopp’s men dominated the Red Devils in December. Now, with the FA Cup at stake, the German manager will be counting on his men to put up another dominant performance.
Moreover, the Reds’ recent form against United will also help boost morale since they’ve won three out of their last five meetings against the Red Devils. One of these wins was Liverpool’s 7-0 thrashing of Erik ten Hag at Anfield.
However, if we take a look at their recent form, both teams look evenly matched. Man United have won four out of their last five games. On the other hand, the Reds have won their last five. The FA Cup quarter-final is gearing up to be an exciting showdown.
