Manchester United take on Brighton at the Old Trafford in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
Darren Fletcher will once again take charge of the side after Ruben Amorim was sacked on Monday.
The Portuguese was replaced in the interim by Fletcher, the club’s Under-18s head coach, who has also held positions as a first-team coach and the technical director.
Fletcher oversaw the 2-2 draw at Burnley in midweek, where Benjamin Sesko netted twice.
United are in discussions with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick over potential returns to the club as caretaker managers until the end of the campaign, when a longer-term appointment is hoped to be hired.
Now, however, they have Brighton in their short-term sights as attention turns to the domestic cup.
It is the only cup competition that United are involved in at this stage of the campaign, with no European football and their early Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Grimsby last year.
Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls, meanwhile, are 11th in the Premier League table, and they make a quick return to Manchester after holding Manchester City to a 1-1 draw in midweek.
Kaoru Mitoma scored the equaliser to cancel out Erling Haaland’s opener from the spot.
The Sussex club’s form has been inconsistent this term, but they are unbeaten in their last three, with a draw at West Ham and a 2-0 win over Burnley preceding the point taken at City.
