Manchester United could be without four players for West Ham FA Cup tie including Anthony Martial

Manchester United have a number of injury issues heading into Wednesday's FA Cup fifth round fixture.

The Hammers travel to Old Trafford to face a United side fresh off winning the Carabao Cup on Sunday afternoon against Newcastle United.

Both teams head into the tie with various players either out due to long-term injuries or doubts after picking up knocks in recent weeks.

Midfielder Christian Eriksen will not feature after picking up an ankle injury against Reading in the fourth round of the competition last month. Anthony Martial is a doubt with a hip injury sustained in January as well, and although the French striker missed Sunday's final, he has returned to training.

Phil Jones will miss out due to a chronic knee issue which has prevented him from making an appearance so far this season. Donny van de Beek is the other long-term injury for the third-placed Premier League outfit after the Netherlands international suffered a knee injury at the start of the year.

For the Hammers, Lukasz Fabiasnki and Vladimir Coufal both picked up injuries in the 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The Polish shotstopper was forced off in the second half with a nasty looking eye injury while Coufal was replaced at half-time with a heel injury.

Maxwel Cornet has returned to training after missing the last five months with a calf injury but may not be used as he steps up his recovery. Kurt Zouma could make his return after missing the last month with a thigh injury.
