In the FA Cup, tonight, MU will visit Blackburn in the 5th round match. Before the match, Coach Mourinho spoke up to "teach" foreign colleagues in the Premier League to respect the tradition of the FA Cup. Therefore, it is likely that "The Special One" will field a strong squad in the upcoming match.

That also means that even if MU finishes outside the top 4 of the Premier League this season, the Old Trafford board of directors will still ask coach Mourinho to extend his contract. Previously, coach Mourinho also said that he was willing to extend his contract if offered. According to Mirror, at the end of this season, MU's board of directors will sit down with coach Mourinho to negotiate a contract extension. The Portuguese coach only moved to work at Old Trafford in the summer of 2016 on a 3-year contract, but the team's board of directors wants to extend the cooperation between the two sides.

Even if they fail to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League, MU still have a chance to play in the Champions League next season if they win the Europa League. This is entirely possible. 2 days ago, MU won 3-0 against Saint Etienne in the first leg of the round of 32. Since coming to work at Old Trafford, coach Mourinho has done quite well in reviving a team in the "transition" period. Currently, the "Red Devils" are going through 16 unbeaten matches in all competitions and are ranked 6th in the Premier League table with 48 points, only 1 point behind the top 4.

MU are also playing well in domestic cup competitions. The "Red Devils" have qualified for the final of the English League Cup and will face Southampton next week.

MU will have only one unfortunate absence when goalkeeper David De Gea is slightly injured and is not on the match registration list. The starter will most likely be Sergio Romero and the reserve goalkeeper will be teenage goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
