Manchester United have a selection crisis ahead of their FA Cup quarter final against Chelsea.
The Red Devils have been handed a tough fixture at Stamford Bridge, where they lost 4-0 in the Premier League earlier this campaign.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is suspended, while Wayne Rooney, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are all injured.
The Telegraph report manager Jose Mourinho is considering picking Marouane Fellaini up front for the fixture.

Possible alternatives include Henrikh Mkhitaryan, or even Jesse Lingard.
Fellaini has the physicality to play as a battering ram of a striker, but he lacks the finishing prowess his role will require.
United have a Europa League tie days later against Rostov, which Ibrahimovic will be available for, and will need to balance their selection accordingly.
The winner of this evening’s FA Cup tie will land a semi-final against one of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur, which will be played at Wembley.
