The Brazilian was initially named on United's bench at Wembley when the line-ups were released but was absent from the squad list the club posted on their official website and social media.

A club source revealed that United were forced to make a change to the squad due to the Brazilian suffering an injury. He was replaced in the squad by Willy Kambwala.
