Natalie said: “This is a competition Manchester United should be expecting to go far in and it is their best opportunity of winning a trophy this season.
"It’s been a funny old season for them but the winter break may have come at the wrong time for them because they had started to pick up a bit of form before that mini-break.
"So it’ll be interesting to see how the players have coped with that break, how fresh they are and how keen they are to get going again.

“It's two in two now for Marcus Rashford (enhanced to 11/8 from 11/10 to score any time). Maybe the goal against Brentford gave him the confidence boost he needed and he went on to score the winner against West Ham, so he can go into this game remembering that he can be a match winner and that’s such an important thing for a striker.
"He’ll want to start obviously, he’s had his injury problems and it’s not been the best of seasons for him, but he’s got a bit of momentum behind him and he’s coming good at the right time.
“You would expect Manchester United to win this one, but I expect Middlesbrough to give them a tricky contest and not make it a fun evening for the Red Devils.

“This is a Middlesbrough side who are resurgent under Chris Wilder. They’re doing really well under him, although they are the lowest scorers in the top half of the Championship so I certainly wouldn’t expect a goal fest.
"But they should put up a fight and Wilder will be relishing the opportunity to knock out a big-hitter.
“They do have the league as priority though, so I think Manchester United should come through this one, but maybe not as comfortably as they would like and I am going for a 2-0 victory for the home side.”
