Hopefully we'll be able to keep up the impressive football we played against Bolton and advance into the semis of the Cup! Come on United!  |

i think this will be tough but it will help to be at home, and boro lost to CITY!? today 2-0 at home, i just cant believe they lost to city, but i will believe when they loose to united, i think smith will play from start, and we will win 2-0, i think ferguson will and can go all out attack with everyone he shouldnt be concerned about resting people. i dont think he cares about the internationals haha.

FA Cup call-up for Cathcart
Craig Cathcart could make his first appearance on the United bench on Monday night, when Middlesbrough visit Old Trafford in the FA Cup quarter-final replay.
The Belfast-born defender, who turned 18 only last month, was this week given the squad number 32. And further encouragement came his way on Saturday when Sir Alex Ferguson name-checked him after the Bolton match on MUTV.
"Craig Cathcart, the youth team captain, and Dong Fangzhou will be the only ones added (to Saturday's squad for Monday)," confirmed Sir Alex.
This call-up for Cathcart follows injuries to senior defenders Gary Neville and Mikael Silvestre, who are expected to be out for three weeks and three months respectively.
Cathcart captained United's youth team in front of more than 38,000 fans at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. Arsenal won the FA Youth Cup semi-final first leg 1-0 - the return leg is at Old Trafford on Monday 3 April, kick-off 19:30 GMT.

Well deserved from what some have said, should be interesting.

This will be a test, but made harder by us having played 48 hours previously. Interesting to see what changes if any fergie makes. We dont have another match till the 31st, although friggin internationals will be on. Which Fergie should ignore naturally. Hope Ronaldo and Rooney play, Giggs prob will after being subbed v Bolton. Gaz is out, Brown in. And richardson out. So all good.  I dont predict, but if i did, i'd say it will be a tough battle...  |

its going to be a VERY TOUGH game .. i think Boro lost yesterday because they probably rested most of their players so they could be ready for this one....hope we win though... the fact that it's at O.T is a massive boost... COMMON UNITED !!

COMMON UNITED !! They rested Woodgate and Viduka. Most of the rest of their first team played. I reckon 2-0 to us, practically in the final then and the added bonus of the Chelsea League game pushed right to the end of the season. Marvellous!! |

Tough game but if we play the way we did against Bolton (equally tough of a fixture) I think we'll be able to dispatch Boro. They're televising this one so I can't wait to see the lads in action.

boro are more difficult than bolton if u look at how the teams have been recently and bolton back four is not that good at all, but boro have a great back four, and thats what difficult for united, but we are at home that will be the difference, i think being away at the first game helped boro, but this time it will be going our way.

Yeah, the home field advantage will definitely be a plus |

Spot on. Bolton should have tough but we were class. More of the same will do the job. Thought we were back to our best on Saturday. #clap# #clap# #clap# |

Adam's XIKuszczak
Brown - Ferdinand - Vidic - Heinzé
Ronaldo - Carrick - O'Shea - Park
Giggs
Rooney Giggs has been phenomenal in his role behind Rooney, rotating well with Ronaldo almost making it a three pronged attack. I'm glad to hear Cathcart has been added to the squad in Neville's absence because he's a good young player and will do well if he gains the chance to come on. I would say Smith to start but he's not had a full game yet and needs to be steadily eased into the games. Prediction: 2-0 United, Ronaldo & Rooney

Maybe Evra might return in this instead of Heinze?

BBC: Belfast-born teenager Craig Cathcart has been called into an injury-hit Manchester United squad.
Wes Brown will replace Gary Neville, while Alan Smith may take over Ryan Giggs' striking responsibilities.
I can see Smithy starting this one, he definetly looked sharp against Bolton yesterday. Park to play again then I guess.
