Who could be next for United in the FA Cup?

Manchester United will be represented by ball number one when the draw for the Emirates FA Cup fifth round takes place on Monday night.

The Reds booked a place in the last 16 with an emphatic 6-0 victory over Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park, where Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood were all among the goals.

The draw will begin at 19:19 GMT and fans can watch it via the competition’s official Twitter account, with United legend Teddy Sheringham and former England international Glen Johnson picking the names out of the hat.

Speaking after Sunday afternoon’s excellent win over Tranmere, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer joked about United’s recent run of away games in the competition and expressed his hope for an overdue home tie.

“We are into round five and we might get a home game, you never know,” said the boss with a smile. “I don’t want to jinx anything, but let’s wait for the draw.”
