Cup action this Thursday night, attempting to secure a passage to the competition's semi-finals with a tie against Tottenham Hotspur standing in their way. Ruben Amorim's side

travel to north London with both sides well aware of what is at stake. The new Man United boss has a chance to claim silverware in his first season in charge, whilst counterpart Ange

Postecoglou heaped pressure on himself early in the term when stating he always wins silverware in his second year with a club. But as this is Amorim's first cup tie since taking

control, it will ultimately have to be seen what priority he gives the competition compared to the Premier League or Europa League campaigns. READ MORE: Ruud van Nistelrooy hints Man United

derby victory saw a strong line-up named, including match-winner Amad. He has started four of the last five fixtures, however the first hint as been given towards him getting a rest at the

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fellow winger Antony was the first Man United star to post a matchday graphic to their Instagram story, therefore suggesting he will be involved in some capacity.

team's wide right full-back rather than the attacking winger, so this decision to replace Amad so soon after his heroics is still not crystal clear. Also, the club's usual

pre-match graphic features Harry Maguire as its cover star this time. The former club captain completed his first full 90 minutes against Man City since returning from his latest injury on

December 1 vs Everton, and is slowly but surely becoming a valued option for Amorim. Article continues below And lastly, Diogo Dalot posted to his own Instagram story similarly to Antony.

The full-back has started every single league game since Amorim joined last month and started one of two European matches in that time too. He may have hinted towards his own involvement

again, but the manager knows he has plenty of options for rotation with Tyrell Malacia available.
