Manchester United, on the other hand, will be hoping to continue their strong form and make a statement in the FA Cup.

With a talented squad and plenty of experience, they will be looking to avoid any upsets and progress to the next round of the competition.

“If you ask me if I believe? I’m 100 per cent sure I believe. I’m not saying that we are dreaming of it.

“I believe we are able to do it if we are at our best level, (with) full respect to Manchester United.

“I’m humble enough to say they are the favourites, at home, they’ve won the Carabao Cup.”

Silva has successfully reconstructed the Fulham team since assuming leadership following their calamitous relegation in the Covid-impacted 2020-21 season.
