​Manchester United v Reading, FA Cup Round of 16, is scheduled for Saturday 28th January from 22:00 at Old Trafford and will be broadcast live from the Pro Arena.
Manchester United and Reading face off in one of the most lopsided games of the FA Cup Round of 16, a competition in which just one leg is played and a draw after 90 minutes will result in a replay.
Manchester United, who are 4th in the Premier League with 39 points from 20 matches, 11 behind leaders Arsenal, have only drawn their last two league games, 1-1 with Crystal Palace and 2: 3 with “Arsenal”. , both played away.
Instead, the Devils took revenge in the last match – 3-0 at Nottingham Forest in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final.
Erik ten Hag’s side also qualified for the UEFA Europa League round of 16 play-offs (where they will play a double with Barcelona), so there are currently four trophies at stake, three domestic and one European.
In fact, Manchester United have not won a trophy for six years, since 2017 to be precise, when under Jose Mourinho they won the UEFA Europa League 2-0 in the final against Ajax Stockholm.
Manchester United have won the FA Cup 12 times, most recently in 2016, 2-1 after extra time in the final against Crystal Palace at Wembley, and they last played with the trophy on the table in 2018, 0-1 in the latest act from Chelsea, also played at the biggest stadium in London.
Reading, 14th in the league with 37 points after 28 games, are five points off the promotion play-off places (3-6), but the chances of one of the top two positions by direct promotion are almost nil.
The team coached by Paul Ince, former England international and former Manchester United icon, are coming off the back of a crucial 0-4 defeat in the Championship against Stoke City.
