The Reds are back at Wembley for Sunday's 15:30 BST kick-off, with Chelsea or Manchester City awaiting the victors in the final next month.
Ahead of the clash with ex-Red Mark Robins's Championship side, United are dealing with a number of injuries, particularly in defence, but will be determined to take another step towards a second trophy of Ten Hag's tenure.
Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane have all been sidelined and do not look to be in a position to return.
However, further forward, there is a positive update emanating from the manager's press conference at Carrington.
