Ole spoke to MUTV before the match and confirmed that Romero will be his chosen keeper for the FA Cup.

'You know that Sergio is a fantastic goalkeeper. When we looked at the whole season, Sergio is the FA Cup keeper. To keep players like him at this club, he needs to play in big games as well,' explained Ole. 'He is a fantastic keeper so I am looking forward to seeing him. He was Man of the Match against Reading, so I am very confident.'

On having Alexis and Lukaku in attack, the manager added: 'They give us something different. Obviously Rom with his physical presence, we might get some more crosses in for him, and Alexis has played here and played for them so I am sure he will be up for the game to show them what they have missed.

'We want to go for it, of course. We want to go through. To win this cup you need to beat a few good teams on the way and you can't get a bigger challenge than away to Arsenal in the cup. These are two clubs with fantastic traditions and histories in this cup.'

Arsenal: Cech; Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Koscielny, Kolasinac; Torreira, Xhaka, Ramsey; Iwobi, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Subs: Leno, Mustafi, Monreal, Lichtsteiner, Elneny, Guendouzi, Ozil.

United: Romero; Young (c), Lindelof, Bailly, Shaw; Herrera, Matic, Pogba; Lingard, Lukaku, Alexis.

Subs: Grant, Dalot, Jones, Fred, Mata, Martial, Rashford.
