MANCHESTER UNITED will have to rely on some back up players when they take on Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final.
The clubs will battle for a spot in the final at Wembley on April 23, but could be without three important players.

How Man United could line up against Brighton
Marcus Rashford could miss the game as the club confirmed he will be out for a “few games” after picking an injury during the win over Everton.
This means that Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag could give a chance to Anthony Martial to impress on the left wing.
The French attacker is capable of playing across the frontline and could fill in for the England international if he is unable to feature.
Alternatively, exciting prospect Alejandro Garnacho would also be able to deputise off the left-hand side.
But the main issue for the Dutch manager is in the heart of his defence.
Lisandro Martinez was carried off the pitch in the Europa League clash against Sevilla in tears.
The Argentine pulled up with nobody near him and could be set for a spell on the sidelines.
While other centre-back Raphael Varane also picked up an injury in the game as he was withdrawn at half time.

Meaning that Ten Hag will likely have to rely on back-up pair Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
The duo have been on the fringe of the team this year as Ten Hag has favoured pairing Varane and Martinez together.
