Reds drawn with Royals


United will play Steve Coppell's Reading at Old Trafford in the FA Cup fifth round.

The tie will take place over the weekend of 17 and 18 February.

The clash will be the eleventh FA Cup meeting between the pair. United have won five of the previous ten Cup games (losing only one), the most recent being the 3-0 win in January 1996.

That day goals from Eric Cantona, Ryan Giggs and a stunner from defender Paul Parker sealed victory.

The pair have already met twice this season. The first game at the Madejski Stadium in September ended 1-1, while the return match at the end of last year resulted in a 3-2 win for the Reds.
