The FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool is crucial for Man Utd. It is the Red Devils' last chance to salvage a trophyless season. They have been eliminated early in the English League Cup, Champions League and have no hope of winning the Premier League.

Ahead of this match, coach Ten Hag announced good news for Man Utd. A series of stars such as Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have all returned to training and are ready to play in the match against Liverpool.
The Dutch tactician said: "This is a good week for Man Utd. A lot of players have returned from injury. Some have been training since the beginning of the week. Now, everyone is ready to play. However, we still have one last training session on Saturday. I still need to assess the situation of these players. Overall, everything is fine."
Hojlund's return is the most anticipated. Before his injury, the Danish player was in very good form, scoring in 6/7 recent matches (8 goals). Since the beginning of the season, Hojlund has contributed 13 goals and 2 assists.
In addition, Mason Mount is also a high-impact factor in midfield. Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka help Man Utd have more personnel in defense.

Coach Ten Hag also shared the secret to defeating Liverpool. He added: "We will be brave and move forward. I know there is space behind Liverpool's defence for Man Utd to exploit.
But we need to find a way to get past the opposition defence, to get the ball as quickly as possible. That requires strategy at the crucial moment. The game against Liverpool is really important. They are a strong opponent. We are really looking forward to this game."
The FA Cup quarter-final match between Man Utd and Liverpool takes place at 10:30 p.m. on March 17 at Old Trafford.
