Manchester United's remarkable record-breaking run of 12 consecutive home cup draws has finally come to an end after the FA Cup third-round draw. The Red Devils were drawn against League One side Wigan Athletic, with the match set to take place at the DW Stadium on the weekend of 6th-7th January.
The record run of 12 consecutive home cup draws was set earlier this season when they were drawn at home against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup fourth-round. Shrewsbury Town held the previous record of 11. The last away cup game for United was in March 2021 when they lost 3-1 to eventual champions Leicester in an FA Cup quarter-final at the King Power.
The 2023/24 FA Cup may now present the only opportunity for Erik ten Hag to win silverware this season, with his side struggling in the Premier League and already out of the Carabao Cup. United are also bottom of their UCL group, and must beat Bayern Munich and hope Copenhagen and Galatasaray draw in the last match week in order to progress to the round-of-16.
The FA Cup third-round draw on Sunday saw some interesting fixtures, with Arsenal vs Liverpool the pick of the lot. Other interesting fixtures included Sunderland hosting Newcastle, and Erik ten Hag told to replace Manchester United 'panic signing' by Chris Sutton.
Erik ten Hag will also be plotting a showdown chat with a struggling Man Utd star, while Manchester United are also preparing a January move for Tottenham target Jean-Clair Todibo. Roy Keane has recently lifted the lid on his relationship with Alex Ferguson and revealed that there was never any bond between them.
