Following Sunday’s epic penalty shootout victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, Manchester United will face into a home tie against previous winners Leicester City in the 4th round of the world’s greatest football competition.
A bookie would surely have offered you long odds on Ruben Amorim’s players progressing as, including extra time, the Red Devils played more than an hour down a man after Diogo Dalot got himself ridiculously sent off for a kamikaze tackle on Kai Havertz on 62 minutes.
Now, my brother often talks about the Holy Trinity of the Meath senior football team, Manchester United and the Munster Rugby team – the latter on account of him living in Limerick for five years – and, with the two red and white thirds of the equation having held up their part of the bargain, all eyes will soon be on the men of the Royal County as they shortly get their season under way in the Allianz National Football League. Ironically away to the red white of Cork.
In the meantime, the draw for the FA Cup 4th round in full is as follows:
Manchester United v Leicester City
Leeds United v Millwall or Dagenham and Redbridge
Brighton & Hove Albion v Chelsea
Preston North End or Charlton Athletic v Wycombe Wanderers
Exeter City v Nottingham Forest
Coventry City v Ipswich Town
Blackburn Rovers v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Mansfield Town or Wigan Athletic v Fulham
Birmingham City v Newcastle United
Plymouth Argyle v Liverpool
Everton v Bournemouth
Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur
Southampton v Burnley
Leyton Orient or Derby County v Manchester City
Doncaster Rovers v Crystal Palace
Stoke City v Cardiff City
