Man United vs Reading lineups
Ten Hag will continue to rotate his starting XI based on the demands of multiple competitions, with fringe players given a chance against Reading.
England star Luke Shaw has been ill and remains a doubt, while Ten Hag confirmed Diogo Dalot is still not fully fit. Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Elanga could be line to start for the hosts, and Harry Maguire may also feature after being suspended for the win at Forest.
Ten Hag also hinted that Jadon Sancho could make the squad. The winger has not played for United since the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on October 22.
Man United starting XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Malacia — McTominay, Eriksen — Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho — Elanga
Ince is without former Newcastle United forward Andy Carroll through injury, but he will name a strong lineup in this tie, including former Premier League stalwarts Scott Dann and Jeff Hendrick.
Reading starting XI (5-3-2): Lumley (GK) — Hoilett, Yiadom, Dann, McIntyre, Rahman — Hendrick, Loum, Fornah — Ince, Meite
Man United vs Reading prediction, odds
Despite the demands of a busy run of matches at the start of 2023, Ten Hag will be confident of breezing into the fifth round up against a Reading side without a league win since the turn of the year.
Changes to the starting team gives players a chance to impress Ten Hag this weekend as he plots a path to success in the second half of the campaign.
