Reading have been drawn away at Premier League side Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup. It will be the second time in three seasons that the two sides have met at Old Trafford at this stage of the competition. Our last meeting was very one sided as United cruised to a straight forward 4-0 home victory over Reading. Rooney started the scoring after just seven minutes and from that point there was only going to be one result. Martial added the second and two second half goals from Marcus Rashford ended a disappointing day for the Royals. We will be hoping for better things this time round, but our league form suggests we could be in for another difficult trip up North. The game will take place on the weekend of Saturday 5 January 2019.
