Team News: Marcus Rashford given centre-forward role for Manchester United

Marcus Rashford will start at centre-forward for Manchester United in Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round tie away to Championship side Blackburn Rovers.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has dropped to the bench for the Premier League side, meaning that Rashford is given the chance to impress in his preferred position, while a speedy attack also includes Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial.

Ashley Young and Matteo Darmian start in the two full-back positions for the Red Devils, leaving Luke Shaw on the bench, alongside Bastian Schweinsteiger.

As for Blackburn, Danny Graham will again lead the line for the Championship side, while Marvin Emnes and Liam Feeney both come into the team after appearing off the bench against Sheffield Wednesday during the week.
