Man United 1-0 Liverpool – FA Cup quarter-final: Live score and updates as Scott McTominay stabs home on the line after Alejandro Garnacho’s shot

The easy signs of Wan-Bissaka down the left instead of his usual right-back role looking pretty positive. He breezes past Salah, who doesn’t seem fussed about tracking back.

Then Bruno Fernandes wins a free-kick for United near the left touchline. The Portuguese whips it in and it lands on the roof of the net.

Ironic cheers from then home fans as a cross-field ball intended for Mo Salah sails out of play.

The game open and stretched, which will suit both teams you imagine.

Liverpool working the ball around nicely, looking for the equaliser. It falls to Joe Gomez at the corner of the box and his strike flies over the ball. For all his versatility, probably not the best man for that chance to fall to.

Liverpool looking to respond and they break quickly on the transition. Cut back to Andy Robertson from the left but he clears the crossbar with his effort.

United strike the first blow and it’s the new attacking Scott McTominay in the perfect spot to poach it.

Great play down the left channel involving Rashford and then Garnacho slipped through. His curling shot was pushed up and not out by Kelleher and in came McTominay to prod it home from close range.

The perfect start for Erik ten Hag’s men.

So close by Mohamed Salah – terrific cross from the right side, drops over Diogo Dalot’s head without him being able to react and Salah on the volley trying to cushion it into the far corner. Just wide with Onana beaten.

Liverpool come forward for the first time but Dominik Szoboszlai’s hit is straight at Andre Onana.

United attack again with Alejandro Garnacho whipping a ball across that comes perfectly into the orbit of Marcus Rashford. Hit with curl towards the far corner and Kelleher with a superb diving stop.

United making a confident start, attacking down the left with Aaron Wan-Bissaka advanced and squaring. Kobbie Mainoo flicks out a leg and gets off a tame shot when if he’d let it roll to Scott McTominay, the Scot was better positioned.

That’s revved the crowd up even more.

TV pictures of Sir Alex Ferguson taking his seat as Erik ten Hag emerges from the tunnel and salutes the Stretford End.

Jurgen Klopp already in his seat – Liverpool’s Quadruple dream to say farewell to him will live or die over the next 90 – or 120, or more – minutes.

Manchester United in traditional colours of red, white and black. Liverpool in change strip of white, green and black.

Outstanding atmosphere as the teams take the field. A huge red, white and black surfer flag has been unfurled on the Stretford End.

Bruno Fernandes and Virgil van Dijk lead their troops out into battle.

Here we go then… the two sets of players lined up in the tunnel and, refreshingly, there’s barely any interaction between them let alone hugging and handshakes. Roy Keane will approve.

‘This is the One’ rings out at Old Trafford and this most eagerly-anticipated of FA Cup quarter-finals is moments away.

A first class FA Cup atmosphere building at Old Trafford just as you’d expect.

9,000 Liverpool fans packing one end and the United support giving as good as they get.

Just a few minutes until kick-off now as the players go through their final preparations.

Liverpool are on the pitch and are looking sharp as they go through their pre-match warmup.

Did you know today’s match will be the first time in over 12 years that Liverpool and United will have met at Old Trafford in an FA Cup quarter-final?

In his pre-match press conference Jurgen Klopp hinted his side may look to switch things up for their trip to Old Trafford.

‘I don’t know if we’ll play the same game [as December’s draw]. We really reached the next level in the season [after that].

‘Before that it was difficult to judge us, we had a lot to overcome, red cards, being 1-0 and then that game [v United] I saw it was really us in the next gear. Result didn’t show that.

‘It’s a home game for them but a lot of aspects in our game that were good and we try to bring them on the pitch again. We might do some things differently.’

The Reds will turn out in their green away kit for today’s clash at Old Trafford on St Patrick’s day.

Take a look at the Liverpool dressing room ahead of today’s match below…

It seems Man United’s tannoy operators have given Liverpool fans something to sing about…

With only two points seperating Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool at the top of the table we’re all set for what could be one of the most thrilling title races in Premier League history.

But can Jurgen Klopp win the quadruple in his final season at Anfield?

That could come down to their Premier League run-in with Opta’s supercomputer telling us who has the toughest fixtures.

Erik ten Hag wrote in his programme notes: ‘All this week, the excitement around Carrington has been obvious.

‘I don’t need to explain to anybody the significance and size of this game.

‘We have the two greatest clubs in English football, with the greatest pedigree and rivalry facing each other.’

Mount will make his return to United’s matchday squad for the first time since November after having been sidelined with injury.

Fans have been showing their excitement over his return on social media, with one writing ‘Mason Mount is BACK!’

Here’s the starting line ups for the match…

Man United XI: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Varane, Dalot, Mainoo, McTominay, Fernandes, Garnacho, Rashford, Hojlund

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Gomez, Quansah, Van Dijk Robertson, Mac Allister, Endo Szoboszlai, Salah, Nunez, Diaz

Harry Maguire’s £30million move to West Ham broke down earlier this summer but it looks like the Hammers could go back in for the Man United defender.

The 31-year-old hasn’t featured in United’s last three matches due to injury but is set to make his return for the Red Devils and will start on the bench for today’s match.

West Ham are reportedly set to try to negotiate a cut-price deal for the defender and will table offers of around £20m – with Maguire’s contract set to expire in 2025.

It’s St Patrick’s day after all and Liverpool are set to turn out in their green away strip.

Ryan Gravenberch returns to the side following an injury, with Conor Bradley making way for Virgil van Dijk, while Joe Gomez looks set to start at right back.

Erik ten Hag will welcome back all of Rasmus Hojlund, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Mason Mount from injury for today’s match, with the trio having been sidelined in recent months.

Harry Maguire also returns for United after the defender had been absent for their last three matches. He’ll start on the bench for today’s match.

‘I think it’s going to be an absolute classic!’, said the WBC Heavyweight champion, who was stood next to the pitch at Old Trafford.

Fury, a Man United supporter, gave his score predictions too, claiming ‘I’m a United fan so I’m going to go with the Reds and I’m going to say 3-2.’

The boxer added that he was wearing green, not just for St Patrick’s day but for ‘luck’.

‘Liverpool are an on form team so we’ll need a bit of luck to defeat them,’ he added.

We’re expecting the team sheets to arrive in the next ten minutes!

Harry Maguire, Rasmus Hojlund and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are all likely to feature, while Diogo Jota and Ryan Gravenberch could be set to return for Liverpool.

There’s also been a bit of transfer gossip earlier this morning that both sides could be set to go head-to-head to sign one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting young talents.

A few boos for the visitors who stepped off the bus at Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Ferguson was pictured arriving at Old Trafford for the match today.

The legendary United manager has enjoyed a fine week at Cheltenham with two of his horses riding to victory.

Will his former side wrap up what coould be a perfect week for the Scotsman?

While Mason Mount has endured a tough start to life at Old Trafford, having been sidelined multiple times with several injuries, Erik ten Hag has continued to back the midfielder throughout.

The Man United boss sees the Englishman as one player who can push the Red Devils forward in the future

I’m convinced he will be [akey player]. He didn’t have the chance to prove this point. But he will be a very good player for Manchester United.

It’s been really unfortunate and disappointing for him [injuries] but also for us when you have such a class player in the middle and you can’t play him. He has had injuries as we all know.

Will we see Rasmus Hojlund back today?

Erik ten Hag was dropping a few hints earlier this week that the Dane could make his injury return later this afternoon…

We had a good week. The players you mention [Hojlund, Maguire and Wan-Bissaka] returned on the pitch, partly at the start of the week and they had a session [on Friday] and are all training. We have to see how they recover from this, but it looks good. I think [they will be fit to play].

In my view, yes. Nunez has been in excellent form in the absence of Mohamed Salah.

Before the turn of the new year, he had struggled to find the back of the net but it was clear he possessed bags of raw talent.

And it seems he’s managed to find his form, scoring six goals in his last six games for the Reds and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.

Mail Sport’s James Sharpe has taken a deep dive into the numbers that show that Nunez is on fire.

Tyson Fury is set to fight Oleksandr Usyk in May, but it appears the Gypsy King has taken some time out of his training schedule to watch this huge clash between two heavyweights of English football.

Several iconic photos from past and present United stars are printed on the front of today’s matchday programme.

Here’s a throwback that I’m sure many Liverpool fans will want to watch again!

Philippe Coutinho produced this stunning chip to help United bounce back and seal a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in 2016.

Brazil announced their squad for their upcoming friendlies against England and Spain on Friday night but Casemiro was not named in the squad.

Head coach Dorival Junior revealed that the Man United midfielder will sit out the upcoming international break due to an injury.

Casemiro has played 90 minutes in Man United’s last three matches and it is now doubtful whether he’ll feature today against Liverpool.

The former Liverpool striker showed his support for his old club, with a video emerging online of the Spaniard sparring in the gym while wearing a Trent Alexander-Arnold jersey!
