Nemanja Matic is back after a knock in the FA Cup win against Tranmere and is included in Manchester United’s squad for tonight.

United travel to Etihad needing to overcome a two-goal deficit if they plan to progress to the Carabao Cup final after losing the first leg 3-1 three weeks ago.

There were some concerns about Matic ahead of the today’s second leg game after being substituted at half-time in United’s 6-0 win against Tranmere.

The condition of the pitch raised certain injury concerns but it was only Matic who picked up a knock during the game and is expected to be available.

MySportDab understands David de Gea and Aaron Wan Bissaka have returned to the squad after being rested against Tranmere.

“Aaron is back in the squad and David also,” Solskjaer told MUTV.

“We have the same squad that’s been travelling lately. They’ve been fantastic. We have some games this week so let’s give what we can then we shall a little break.”

One player who is likely to make his first-team return at the Etihad is defender Eric Bailly.

The centre-back has not played for the first team so far this season after a serious knee injury in pre-season.

De Gea, Grant, Romero; Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Dalot, Lindelöf, Bailly, Jones, Williams, Shaw, Fred, Gomes, Matic, Chong, Martial, Greenwood, Pereira, Lingard, Mata, James.

Time: 7:45pm/8:45pm.
