FA Cup 6th Round Draw: Man. United Handed Away Tie

United have been drawn away at either Swansea City or Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-final.

Fulham took the lead against the run of play at Swansea's Liberty Stadium on Saturday thanks to a Gary Monk own goal. But the dominant Swans levelled in the 52nd minute through Jason Scotland to earn a fifth round replay at Craven Cottage later this month.

Sir Alex Ferguson believes Swansea will once again prove tough opposition for the Cottagers when the two teams meet in South London, but remains confident in his own side's ability to deal with whoever makes it into the last eight.

"I watched the game between Swansea and Fulham and Swansea played very well," he told MUTV. "It was a very impressive performance from them and I don't think that tie is finished yet.

"Whatever happens we know we're only one step away from the semi-final which is a big incentive for the players. Hopefully the form stays the way it is because it's been very good."
