FA Cup third round draw: United face Gerrard’s Villa
The draw for the FA Cup third round took place this evening with Manchester United being drawn against Aston Villa at home. Steven Gerrard, who took over the role last month, will be looking to get one over on his old rivals. The last time he faced United, as a player, he got so badly rattled by our away support he was sent off seconds after coming off the bench in a game we won.
United haven’t won the FA Cup since 2016 under Louis van Gaal and Ralf Rangnick will likely be desperate to get his hands on some silverware during his six month stint as manager.
Other notable draws:
Liverpool v Shrewsbury Town
Chelsea v Chesterfield
Swindon Town v Manchester City
Nottingham Forest v Arsenal
