Manchester United draw Everton in the FA Cup Third Round – Man United News And Transfer News

Manchester United have tied Everton in the Third Round of the Emirates FA Cup.

The match is scheduled for January 7 at 3 pm, a Tuesday.

United will be happy to have home-field advantage in their introduction to the competition this season at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag has already guided his side to a victory over the Toffees this season, having overseen the club’s 2-1 victory at Goodison Park in the Premier League in October.

United had to fight to come back on that occasion, with Alex Iwobi opening the scoring in the first five minutes of the game.

Summer signing Antony provided the equalizer ten minutes later, while retired Cristiano Ronaldo scored what turned out to be the game-winner on the stroke of half-time.

Arguably the highlight of the match was the performance of Casemiro, who made his first Premier League start after his €70m transfer from Real Madrid.

It marked a fantastic run of form for the Brazilian, who has since established himself as a true leader in the dressing room.

Man United versus Everton is one of five FA Cup ties to feature a clash between two Premier League teams.

Crystal Palace play Southampton at Selhurst Park and West Ham travel to Brentford, while Liverpool take on Wolverhampton Wanders at home.

The highest-grossing tie of the round is undoubtedly Chelsea’s trip to the Etihad Stadium against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

United themselves will face the Sky Blues in the Premier League a week after hosting Everton at an early afternoon kick-off.
