What They're Saying
Cambridge United Richard Money (via Express): "We won two trophies last year. We've got a group of players that know what it means to win. We've been lucky that two trips to Wembley last year has given us some kind of thought process as to what might happen and what needs to be done. I've got absolutely no doubts that they will play well Friday night."
Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick (via the club's official website): "I had a chat to the manager about it [being named vice-captain] and it's great for me for him to think like that. It's probably a natural thing with me being one of the older players and more experienced, that's the natural step. It's great. I managed to be captain when Wayne [Rooney] missed a game [Stoke in December], which was nice, but it's not the be all and end all of everything."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Carrick is yet to make an FA Cup appearance, but in 13 league appearances, the 33-year-old is averaging 1.7 tackles and 1.5 interceptions.
Cambridge United's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Dunn; Taylor, Coulson, Nelson, Tait; Donaldson, McGeehan, Champion, Hughes; Elliot, Kai
Manchester United's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): Valdes; Rojo, Smalling, Jones; Blind, Rooney, Carrick, Fellaini, Valencia; Maria, Falcao
