Manchester United face a familiar FA Cup foe on Saturday evening as Championship side Reading head to Old Trafford with a place in the fifth round on the line.

This will be the fourth meeting between the pair in the competition in the past decade and the 16th in total. Man Utd have lost only one of those and will fancy their chances of extending that record as Erik ten Hag is enjoying an impressive first season at the helm.

They moved a step closer to the EFL Cup final with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the first leg of their semi-final on Wednesday, are in a strong position in the race for the top four, have a Europa League knock-out tie with Barcelona lined up, and eased past Everton in the third round.

It’s hard to argue with how things are going in Paul Ince’s first full season in charge of Reading either. They were tipped to be relegation candidates by many this season but are 14th in the table – closer in points to the top six than the bottom three – and beat Watford 2-0 to line up their trip to Old Trafford.

The former Man Utd favourite will hope to become the first Royals boss to win a game at the Theatre of Dreams but there is no getting around that his side have struggled on the road this term.
