'Antony fortunate to start'
Nathan Salt, Mail Sport, at Old Trafford:
So it's the two changes for Man United with Scott McTominay dropping to the bench, given he was an injury doubt, and Marcus Rashford not involved at all after he limped out of Wembley.
Fans are pretty frustrated that Amad Diallo is again on the bench and I have to say I agree with them. Antony fortunate to get the nod to start after his antics at Wembley.

Sheffield United on brink of equalling Derby record
Without wishing to add further salt to Sheffield United wounds, the Blades are one goal away from equalling Derby’s record of 89 goals conceded in a 38 match Premier League season.
The all-time record is held by Swindon Town, who shipped 100 over a 42 match campaign.
Defintiely something Sheffield United will want to avoid breaking.
Wilder admits mood 'as negative as it has been' after Burnley defeat
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has admitted the mood has been 'as negative as it has been' in the aftermath of their 4-1 loss to Burnley on the weekend.
Wilder said the Blades had hopes of picking up points against Brentford and Burnley in their last two fixtures, but suffered 2-0 and 4-1 defeats.
The results have left Sheffield United 10 points from safety with five matches remaining.
The feel around the club and ground was very, very down and negative after that, possibly as negative as it has been. We had an opportunity to pick up some points and we haven’t and that has impacted our league position incredibly,' Wilder said.
We have to quickly get on. There are big decisions to make from a selection point of view. It is a disappointing feeling we have got at the moment and it can only be rectified by a positive result and performance at Old Trafford.
Blades aiming to stun Man United again
As mentioned by Nathan, Sheffield United were winners on their last visit to Old Trafford in January 2021.
Goals from Kean Bryan and Oliver Burke saw Sheffield United come away with all three points during one of the Covid-era matches at an empty Old Trafford.
Harry Maguire grabbed Man United’s goal on that occasion against his former side.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side eventually finished as Premier League runners-up, while Sheffield United finished bottom. One of those things looks like being repeated...
A chill in the Old Trafford air
Nathan Salt, Mail Sport, at Old Trafford:
A lovely clear night here at Old Trafford, albeit with a bit of chill in the air. Can't tell if this is a good or bad omen - they don't seem to mean much when it comes to this team - but Manchester United's only defeat in the past 10 Premier League games against Sheffield United came the last time they met at Old Trafford, losing 2-1 in January 2021... Erik ten Hag simply CANNOT afford a repeat of that or it really is over and out for him
As mentioned, Ten Hag went on the attack in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday when responding to suggestions the penalty shoot-out win over Coventry was 'embarrassing'.
'You made (asked) the question, "is it embarrassing?" No, the reaction from you was embarrassing. The comments are a disgrace,' Ten Hag said.
'Top football is about results. We made it to a final and we deserved it, not only by this game but also the other games. We lost control for 20 minutes, we also had bad luck for 3-2 and 3-3. We were very lucky in the end, clear.
'We were not happy with it. I can see the fans are not happy with it as well, but they get fed by opinions. But all over, what I heard is that the fans are very happy we are again in the FA Cup final.
It is a huge achievement. Twice in two years is magnificent. For me as a manager, five cup finals in four years.'
Mail Sport's Nathan Salt writes that while Ten Hag has come out fighting with the media this week, it is now time for his side to do so on the pitch.
