Manchester United aim to put a full stop to their misery when they face League One team Wigan Athletic in an intriguing FA Cup clash.
Wigan Athletic are themselves struggling in their division with three defeats in their previous five games. Their run of three defeats on the trot took a u-turn with them managing four points from their available six helping them gain confidence before the all important FA Cup fixture.
The Red Devils enter the contest on the back of two defeats in their previous three games in the Premier League. West Ham United and Nottingham Forest both snatched three points from Erik Ten Hag's men. With the FA Cup being the only realistic opportunity to win silverware for the former Ajax manager, Manchester United would want to garner confidence with a victory on the road.
