In the FA Cup quarterfinals, Manchester United will attempt to halt Liverpool on their path to triumph. Stopping the Merseysiders is a daunting task - City barely escaped with their dignity from their own stadium, and Sparta outright capitulated. In their current form, the "Red Devils" will once again have to play defensively at their goal, as it seems the only way to stop the opponent's vertical attacks.

Manchester United is competing for only one title this season - they're already out of the championship race, initially not considered as primary contenders, lost the League Cup race, and it's better not to mention the Champions League. The only remaining competition is the FA Cup, where the Devils have reached the quarterfinal stage. Erik ten Hag's team advanced confidently - defeating Wigan (2:0) in the third round, overcoming Newport (4:2) in the fourth, and narrowly beating Nottingham Forest (1:0) in the previous round.

It seemed that this tournament could smooth over a rough season, but at the quarterfinal stage, they were matched against Liverpool, currently the best team in terms of form, points, and competitiveness. It's presumed that United's defensive tactics, as seen against City, could save them. Ten Hag thought that retreating to their own goal was the best decision, but Guardiola's team wouldn't be themselves if they couldn't break through a dense defense.

Liverpool is worse off in this regard, positional attack isn't their main forte, and in such tight combat, vertical attacks might only do harm. Nonetheless, Manchester United is prepared for such a scenario, even if it means allowing a high number of chances at their goal, making them one of the worst in the league by this metric.
