  The Reds set aside the chase for the league title and the pursuit of European glory to go in search of a place in the semi finals of the FA Cup. But Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth stand in United's way…
  
  Form guide: Since losing to United in the league in January, Portsmouth have been in fairly consistent form, winning three of their last five and earning a 1-1 draw against Chelsea. The Reds have lost just once in 13 games in 2008.
  
  Ins and outs: Ryan Giggs has missed United’s last three games with a calf injury, while Gary Neville is still recovering from long-term injuries. Otherwise expect the usual squad rotation from Sir Alex. Portsmouth, meanwhile, have injury concerns over Noe Pamarot (knee) and David Nugent (hernia), while Jermain Defoe is cup-tied.
  
  Star men: Croatian winger Niko Kranjcar makes Pompey tick. He doesn’t score many goals (he has just four this season), but he is very skilful and creative. For United, pick one from many. But Wayne Rooney, so tireless against Lyon, is due to come into goalscoring form.

  I hope that more fringe players get to play and sharpen their match fitness like Saha, Park, JoShea..

  also, give players like Ronaldo, Rooney, Nani, Anderson, OwenH a good rest, and to keep their hunger.

  Eagles has been doing well in the reserves, but its tough task for him to be in the first-team, Park, Giggs, Nani and Ronaldo all ahead of him.

  Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs has recovered from a calf strain and could face Portsmouth in the FA Cup.

  Sir Alex Ferguson has a full-strength squad other than Gary Neville, Mikael Silvestre and Ben Foster, who are recovering from long-term injuries.

  Pedro Mendes returns to the Portsmouth squad after five weeks out following a minor ankle operation.

  Jermain Defoe is cup-tied so Kanu will start up front and John Utaka will move up from the bench to the starting XI.

  Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Brown, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Ronaldo, Carrick, Fletcher, Hargreaves, Nani, Rooney, Tevez, Scholes, Giggs, O'Shea, Saha, Kuszczak, Anderson, Park, Simpson, Pique.

  Portsmouth (from): James, Ashdown, Johnson, Distin, Campbell, Hreidarsson, Lauren, Aubey, Diop, Diarra, Muntari, Utaka, Davis, Mendes, Hughes, Kanu, Baros

  Dong didnt even make the bench of the most recent reserve match.

  Maybe he's injured or really cmi already.

  we're talking bout a semi final stake in FA Cup here...cannot underestimate portsmouth since they would probably kill to at least secure a place in the semi final.. we need Rooney , Anderson/Nani, Scholes to start at least with Ronaldo in the bench.. i wouldn;t wanna push Giggs and neville in the starting line up if necessary..
