Captain Harry Maguire will miss next month's FA Cup semi-final against Brighton & Hove Albion at Wembley through suspension - should Manchester United see off Fulham in this afternoon's quarter-final showdown at Old Trafford.
The centre-back, who started for the second game in succession, was booked with 21 minutes on the clock. He was guilty of dragging Cottagers striker Aleksandar Mitrovic to the ground, leaving referee Chris Kavanagh with little choice but to book the England international.
Maguire, who has struggled for frequent opportunities this season, was starting for the second game in a row after Raphael Varane was ruled out through injury. The Frenchman was not included in the matchday squad with a knock.
