Erik ten Hag confirmed that goalkeeper Andre Onana will be in the MU squad to face Wigan in the third round of the FA Cup. The Cameroon international was called up for the Africa Cup but was still able to play before leaving.
However, midfielder Sofyan Amrabat was gathering with the Moroccan team so he was not present. Therefore, Christian Eriksen will combine with young player Kobbie Mainoo or Scott McTominay in the midfield tonight.
Man Utd’s injury situation will ease when Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, and Anthony Martial are all expected to return shortly, with most likely to play. against Tottenham at the weekend.
Rasmus Hojlund was absent from the match against Nottingham Forest due to illness, so the Danish international is a doubt against Wigan. If not, Marcus Rashford will lead the Red Devils’ attack.
Ten Hag is expected to field a strong squad with Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Bruno Fernandes all present up front.
On the Wigan side, the home team is without Tom Pearce and Jason Kerr due to injury, while Stephen Humphrys and Scott Smith are major doubts. Leading their attack is Josh Magennis, who has scored five goals this season.

Wigan: Tickle; Clare, Hughes, Morrison, Sessegnon; Shaw, Adeeko; McManaman, Lang, Godo; Magennis
MU: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Evans, Dalot; Mainoo, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, Rashford
