Amad Diallo will be AVAILABLE for Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final tie despite picking up a red card against Liverpool.
Diallo made a huge impact after entering the fray in the FA Cup quarter-final clash at Old Trafford on Sunday.
He scored Man United's winner against Liverpool in the 121st minute before receiving his marching orders after John Brooks brandished a red card.
It was Diallo's second caution, having been booked before his late strike.

But Erik ten Hag will be able to call upon the 21-year-old's services for next month's FA Cup semi-final tie against Coventry City.
That's because his red card in the FA Cup is not competition-specific.
Because red cards are not competition specific, he will miss his side's next Premier League fixture against Brentford on March 30.
Diallo will be back in contention for Man United's league match against Chelsea on April 4.
Following his starring role against Liverpool, he could play a part in Man United's FA Cup semi-final showdown against Coventry, which is set for April 20 or April 21.
Speaking after his match winner against Liverpool, the Ivory Coast international said: "What a game. I think we deserved this win. We played very good, one of the best games of the season also."
Asked if his goal is the best he's ever scored, the winger replied: "I think so. It's an important moment, so I think it's the best goal of my career.
"I don't believe but this is football. You need to believe every single moment. I'm happy to score."
Diallo also revealed that he forgot he had been cautioned before taking off his shirt during his goal celebration.
"I forgot the first yellow," he said. "I'm very disappointed for that, a red card, but the most important for me is to win and against a big team like Liverpool is a big, big moment for me.
"Everyone came to me and said congratulations. I want to thank everyone, the fans were superb all game."
