That saw the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford compete with Erik ten Hag, Steve McLaren and Darren Fletcher in the style-stakes.

The clash with Liverpool represents the club’s last chance of winning silverware this season and will be huge in dictating Erik ten Hag’s future.

They are currently sixth in the Premier League and eight points off fourth-placed Villa as their Champions League hopes continue to dwindle.

Following their 3-1 defeat to City this month, Ten Hag made peace with the team’s faltering top four push by saying: “It can be an advantage that fifth spot can also be a Champions League spot, so we have to go for it and win our games.”

A rocky start to the season saw United finish bottom of their Champions League group and go out of the Carabao Cup to Newcastle.

And Sir Jim Ratcliffe was hardly supportive of Ten Hag during his first media interview since investing in the club.

When asked about the manager’s future, Ratcliffe said: “I’m not going to comment on the job he’s done because that would be inappropriate.

“You can’t blame all the coaches. The only conclusion is that the environment in which they were working didn’t work.

“Erik’s been in that environment and what we have to do is make sure that environment, the organisation, the people in the structure, are right.

“We have to do that bit, so I’m not really focused on the coach but on getting that bit right. It’s not for me to judge that.

“But we’ve made some quite difficult decisions in our time in business. We’ll just be logical about it, assess the facts and make a fair judgement.

“We’re not a brutal organisation really. But sometimes you do have to make decisions, that may not be popular.”

United did get a positive result last time out in the league however, beating Everton 2-0 at home.

The last time they faced Liverpool, in December, they also performed admirably, tying the Merseyside team 0-0.

They’ll be aiming to take motivation from it in order to secure a Wembley semi-final berth.

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp’s team is headed for a quadruple. They currently sit second in the Premier League with the same number of points as leaders Arsenal, have previously won the Carabao Cup, and lead Sparta Prague 5-1 in their first leg of the Europa League last-16.
