Far from ideal timing for Marcus Rashford

Our Manchester United reporter Chris Wheeler is right.

With Marcus Rashford reported to have been in a Belfast nightclub on Wednesday and Thursday – and the fact he misses out today – the optics don’t look great for Erik ten Hag.

Going to be a tight squeeze!

More media interest than ever means it’s a massive test for Rodney Parade’s facilities.

Newport are in the building

Newport’s dressing room is full of Man United fans – more on that shortly – so the nerves MUST be jangling for these lads.

What a day for them.

David vs Goliath = Newport vs Man United

Well, this is the beauty of the FA Cup.

Yesterday we had National League South Maidstone United defeating Championship high flyers Ipswich Town… now it’s the turn of League Two Newport County as they try to stun Manchester United.

The Welsh side are at home in front of a packed out Rodney Parade and while United are huge favourites, this competition is littered with great FA Cup shocks.
