'Why?' - Manchester United fans ask same question as Erik ten Hag names team to face Wigan

Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's FA Cup third round clash with Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium this evening, making a couple of changes.

United, who have not faced the Latics since 2017, will be aiming to get back on track after last Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Goals from Nicolas Dominguez and Morgan Gibbs-White either side of a Marcus Rashford leveller sealed a fully deserved three points for the hosts.

It means Ten Hag will be determined to see his side get back on track this evening, start 2024 on a positive note and avoid the embarrassment of being on the receiving of a cup upset. The Dutchman, as expected, has opted to make a couple of changes to the side that was beaten by Forest.
