Manchester United discover FA Cup fifth round opponents after full draw
Manchester United will look to get to the final of the FA Cup once again after winning the competition last year
Manchester United will face Fulham at home in the fifth round of the FA Cup following the conclusion of Monday evening's draw.
Ruben Amorim's side defeated Leicester City 2-1 at Old Trafford last time out. The Reds completed a comeback through Harry Maguire after Leicester took the lead on the brink of half-time.
However, the imposing central defender appeared to be in an offside position when the free-kick was taken. Without the assistance of VAR which is not in use for the third and fourth round of the competition, the goal was allowed to stand.
As they prepare to face Fulham next month, United will certainly be eyeing another spot in the final after defeating local rivals Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley last season. Marco Silva's side came away 2-1 winners against Wigan Athletic in the previous round.
Following the exits of Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea, there are currently eight Premier League teams left in the competition. Crystal Palace will look to book their place in the next round when they face Doncaster Rovers tonight.
