Manchester United draw Fulham in FA Cup quarter-finals

Manchester United will face Fulham in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup at Old Trafford.

United, who last won the competition back in 2016, booked their place in the last-eight with a 3-1 win over West Ham at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening. After falling behind to Said Benrahma's well-taken finish, United got themselves back on level terms via an own-goal from Nayef Aguerd with just 13 minutes of normal time left on the clock.

However, with extra-time looming, United found a way to get themselves over the line, courtesy of a brilliant 90th-minute strike from Alejandro Garnacho. Fred, who had earlier stepped off the bench, then added a third with virtually the last kick of the game to put the result beyond doubt.

Fulham, meanwhile, booked their place in the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over fellow Premier League side Leeds United on Tuesday evening. Goals either side of half-time from Joao Palhinha and Manor Solomon sealed a routine win for the Cottagers.

Elsewhere, Manchester City will play host to Championship table-toppers Burnley while League Two side Grimsby Town, who stunned Southampton on Wednesday evening, will travel to Brighton. The other quarter-final tie will see Championship duo Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers go head-to-head at Bramall Lane for a place at Wembley in the semi-finals.

The Blades and Rovers both knocked out Premier League opposition to reach the last-eight. The Blades defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Wednesday evening just 24 hours after Blackburn won 2-1 at Leicester City.

Progression to the quarter-finals for both United and Brighton means that their scheduled Premier League meeting on Sunday, March 19 will be rearranged.
