RoShaun Williams has been included in the Manchester United squad for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham.

Louis van Gaal has selected the 17-year-old centre-back, who played for the Under-21s at Liverpool on Friday night, for his maiden squad promotion, despite Timothy Fosu-Mensah's recent emergence. Whalley Range lad Williams arrived with the 18-man squad at The Lowry Hotel on Saturday night.

Adnan Januzaj is also back in the senior squad, having played in the U21s' draw.

Juan Mata is suspended for Sunday's tie following his expulsion in last week's defeat to West Brom.

United have good memories from past FA Cup ties against The Hammers.

Ron Atkinson's Reds beat West Ham in a memorable 4-2 quarter-final win at Old Trafford in 1985, en route to conquering Liverpool and Everton in the semi-final and final.

Sir Alex Ferguson's United thrashed West Ham 6-0 in the fourth round in 2003 and, 10 years later, a spectacular solo goal from Robin van Persie at Upton Park set up a replay for United to narrowly win, courtesy of a Wayne Rooney penalty.

However, West Ham recorded a memorable fourth round win at Old Trafford in 2001 when Paolo di Canio ridiculed Fabien Barthez and John Lyall's Irons avenged their '85 quarter-final defeat by beating United in a fifth round replay the following year.

Cup holders United were also denied a return to Wembley by West Ham in the 1964 semi-final at Hillsborough.

United squad: De Gea, Romero, Darmian, Williams, Varela, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Fellaini, Carrick, Herrera, Memphis, Januzaj, Lingard, Martial, Rashford
