Solskjaer went strong for the replay, with just two outfield changes from the side that beat Norwich. There was still room for some rotation, however, with Daniel James and Mason Greenwood playing in place of Andreas Pereira and Marcus Rashford.

Fans felt Gomes deserves the chance to prove himself with his contract running out, but were confused why he was not even on the bench for a game like Wednesday night's replay - especially with Jesse Lingard among the substitutes despite his poor long-term form.
