One match ban enabled

Wolves centre-back Ryan Bennett is available, despite currently serving a two-match Premier League ban, and could replace Romain Saiss.

Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has no fresh injury concerns.

Manchester United's in-form forward Romelu Lukaku is a doubt because of a sore foot.

Ashley Young is suspended but Phil Jones is fit after illness, while Jesse Lingard and Ander Herrera have returned to training and could be involved.

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

@Guymowbray: Top seven of the Premier League, last eight of the FA Cup - it's not the sort of season that sides coming up into the top flight generally experience.

Wolves, though, aren't your normal newly-promoted club, and those on the inside are presumably merely enjoying 'progress as planned'.

Nuno Espirito Santo will have a plan to beat Manchester United too, having been unlucky not to get the better of his old boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford in September.

From Mourinho to the surprise of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United's season has been anything but 'as planned' and yet could end incredibly well.

Two in-form teams should give us great entertainment, and Molineux will be rocking.

One for all to enjoy, Jose included.

VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT

Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo: "It is the biggest game for the club for some time, we are aware of that.

"There is a lot of hard work ahead to repeat what happened in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. It was easier back then."

Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Wolves: "Last season you were impressed with them to go through the Championship as they did convincingly.

"They had a clear plan - didn't get Championship players in, [but] players above the Championship level - and you can see that now, in seventh, they trust their own way of playing.

"They defended fantastically well against Chelsea but at home they take the game to the opponent with the great passing ability in the team."

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

This is the 100th meeting between the sides in all competitions. United, then known as Newton Heath, won the first game 10-1 in a home league game in October 1892.
United have won four of the eight previous FA Cup meetings, with Wolves winning twice.
This is the fourth quarter-final match between the sides. United won 5-3 at Molineux in 1965 and 3-2 away in 1976, after the original tie at Old Trafford had ended 1-1.
Wolverhampton Wanderers

The most recent of Wolves' four FA Cup wins was in 1960 - United had lifted the trophy twice at that point.
This is their first FA Cup quarter-final since 2003, when they lost 2-0 away to Southampton.
Wolves' last quarter-final triumph came at Leeds in 1997-98, Don Goodman with the only goal.
Matt Doherty has been involved in five FA Cup goals this season (three goals and two assists), more than any other player among the teams left in the competition.
Manchester United

Manchester United have won the FA Cup 12 times, just one fewer than record holders Arsenal.
United are appearing in their fifth successive FA Cup quarter-final. However, they are looking to reach consecutive semi-finals for the first time since 2003-04 and 2004-05.
They have won 17 and lost just two of their last 20 FA Cup games dating back to January 2015.
United's seven FA Cup goals this season have all been scored by different players: Juan Mata, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial, Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba.
Defeat at Arsenal last weekend ended their run of nine successive away wins in all competitions - they also failed to score for the first time in 22 away games this season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won all four FA Cup away ties as a manager: two with Cardiff in 2013-14 and two this season with United.

It'll be interesting to see how man u get on in the up and coming encounter, surely they won't be so carp, alot depends on Nuno's team selection I suppose.
Same again lads please.

Some good ideas but the Texas jaunt is already set up. Might be back in the UK around cup final time so maybe I shall see if I get lucky finding a ticket for that one.

Yeah pretty sure if you want a ticket you can get one some way some how. And yeah I agree, Watford is a tough tough game, would much rather had Brighton.

33,000 for the semi and last season the finalists got 28,000 each. I think that means season ticket holders should be sorted for both, assuming all of my chickens hatch.

I think you are right Goldie, and Sir Halfy I was in club Wembley as a guest for one of last seasons semi s but would rather be with the lads for this one unlimited food and drinks or not
I think! Unlimited food and drinks is always tempting on the rare occasions the opportunity arises I find anyway

Yeah and me, but it might be the only route in for some. As a dignitary of the club via the exceptional work I put in, I don’t have this problem, and I should be receive a grovelling letter any day now requesting my attendance!
