The 18-year-old could make his first appearance for United since joining from Internacional last month, as the Reds look to register a fourth straight victory in this season's competition.

Possebon joins a strong midfield in the 16-man squad, alongside Chris Eagles, Corry Evans, Michael Barnes, Sam Hewson and Tom Cleverley.

United will look to exact some revenge for this week's U18 mauling by City, in which the Blues posted a 5-0 FA Premier Academy League victory at The Cliff.

The Reds also have the added motivation of avenging their defeat by City in last season's Senior Cup final, where the Blues ran out 3-1 winners at Old Trafford.

Thursday's match kicks off at 7pm.

United: Heaton, Zieler; Gray, Lea, Eckersley, Chester, Galbraith; Hewson, Barnes, Cleverley, Eagles, C Evans, Possebon; Welbeck, S Evans, Bryan.

He came on for the last 35 minutes and looked tidy without doing anything spectacular. He likes to pass short and got involved at both ends of the pitch. I don't think he gave the ball away once and got a few tackles in as well. He is a big lad so hopefully he will settle in OK.
