Manchester United vs Huddersfield or Birmingham in FA Cup fifth round draw

Vaishali Bhardwaj29 January 2018

Manchester United have been drawn to play against either Huddersfield Town or Birmingham City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Debutant Alexis Sanchez helped steer United through the fourth round with two assists as Jose Mourinho's men eased past Yeovil 4-0 on Friday night.

The Chile forward laid on goals for Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera, with Jesse Lingard and Romelu Lukaku glossing the score late on at Huish Park.

Sanchez's former club Arsenal spent the day assuming responsibility for the 29-year-old inadvertently missing a drugs test on Monday, as he dealt with the logistics of his United transfer.

The striker himself ended the night by ensuring manager Jose Mourinho tasted victory on his 55th birthday and the occasion of his 100th match at the United helm.

Sanchez dropped deep too often and conceded possession cheaply too frequently in a mixed first half, but still posed United's chief threat on his Red Devils debut.

That spark generated the wholly-dominant visitors' first two goals on a night where Darren Way's Yeovil had precious few opportunities to upset the odds.
