A Friday night fixture will remind many of that night at Old Trafford after a Danny Welbeck winner sent us into the quarter-finals of the competition on our way to retaining the trophy in 2015.

Man Utd are on a mini-renaissance under Ole Gunner Solksjaer after the former striker won his first five games in charge of his old side.

The Red Devils overcame a bullish Reading side to make it into the fourth round, while our comfortable 3-0 win at Blackpool saw us through.

This tie will represent our second clash against Man Utd in a matter of weeks following our trip to Old Trafford in the Premier League last month.

We dominated that match and came away disappointed with a draw in the end, yet the team we faced on that night appears to be a shadow of the current Man Utd side.

The clash comes days after a Premier League tie against Chelsea which should hopefully allow us to claw our way back into the top four.

The business end of the season is upon us!
