MANCHESTER UNITED fans are “scared” after learning who will start at centre-back in the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry.
The Red Devils line up for this afternoon’s game means midfielder Casemiro is playing in the back-line.
Erik ten Hag’s team sheet for this afternoon’s games has concerned fans as they guess who will play in defence.
In defence the Dutch boss has put Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the left next to Harry Maguire and Diogo Dalot on the right.
Means fans suspected Casemiro will join the trio in the back line as they only have Maguire in the centre back position.
One fan tweeted: “Casemiro cb I am scared.”

While another added: “This actually means you play just one CB?”
A third then put: “Casemiro at cb tears.”
The Brazilian has occasionally played as centre-back, so will be familiar if one of them has to play in the defensive line.
The defensive midfielder last season played in the United back-line notably in the Carabao Cup.
