Man Utd v Brighton
FA CUP - SIXTH ROUND

Date: Saturday 17th March 2018

TEAM NEWS
Manchester United will name the same squad that was knocked out of the Champions League by Sevilla for their FA Cup quarter-final against Brighton.
That means defenders Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind, as well as midfielder Ander Herrera and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, remain out.
Brighton will be without suspended winger Anthony Knockaert for the tie at Old Trafford.
Full-back Gaetan Bong and midfielder Dale Stephens are doubtful.
WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: "Every match is important.
"We train very well, always. We train always very, very well, so we don't need a reaction to train better than we do because the training, the professionalism, the enthusiasm, the organisation, every training session with us since day one, since I arrived, the players have been absolutely brilliant."
Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "What we all know about Manchester United is they have huge quality, and are only second in this division because Manchester City are having an outstanding season. They are going to have days that are not so good, and we'll have to make sure that we play well enough to get a result.
"To go through would be wonderful for this club. It's a big task and United will be clear favourites. What we can get confidence from is that on our last visit to Old Trafford we played very well."
