Man United is set to face Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday, July 19, in a crucial FA Cup semi-final match. The Red Devils will be looking to extend their impressive 19-match unbeaten streak in all competitions.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces a challenging squad selection task, particularly at left-back, where Luke Shaw is currently out injured. Shaw hobbled off with an ankle injury during United's 2-2 draw with Southampton, and his replacement, Williams, also suffered a blow to the head in injury time.

David de Gea could potentially replace Sergio Romero between the sticks, despite the Argentine's recent cup appearances. Solskjaer has hinted that Brandon Williams could be fit for the fixture, but Shaw's participation remains uncertain.

The winner of the Chelsea-Man United match will go on to face Arsenal in the finals, who defeated Man City in their semi-final clash.
