Team News: Eric Bailly on Manchester United bench for FA Cup trip to Huddersfield Town

Eric Bailly on Man United bench

Eric Bailly has been named on the Manchester United bench for Saturday's FA Cup fifth-round tie away at Huddersfield Town.

The Ivory Coast defender returns to action for the Red Devils following a three-month absence due to an ankle injury which required surgery.

Jose Mourinho has made six changes to his starting XI, with Paul Pogba dropping out through illness.

David de Gea is also left out of the squad along with Antonio Valencia and Phil Jones, while Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard drop to the bench.

Sergio Romero starts in goal while Victor Lindelof, Juan Mata, Scott McTominay, Michael Carrick and Luke Shaw all come in.

Terriers boss David Wagner, meanwhile, has made four changes to his starting XI as Terence Kongolo, Philip Billing, Danny Williams and Collin Quaner are drafted in from the off.

Scott Malone, Jonathan Hogg, Aaron Mooy and Alex Pritchard are the players who drop out, the latter two failing to make the squad through injury and ineligibility respectively.

Huddersfield Town: Lossl; Kongolo, Schindler, Jorgensen, Hadergjonaj; Billing, Williams; Van la Parra, Ince, Quaner; Mounie Subs: Coleman, Smith, Malone, Whitehead, Hogg, Sabiri, Depoitre

Manchester United: Romero; Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw; Matic, Carrick; McTominay, Mata, Sanchez; Lukaku Subs: Pereira, Bailly, Darmian, Gomes, Hamilton, Lingard, Martial
