FA Cup Draw Treats United
Manchester United have been treated with an easy draw in the FA Cup Fifth Round, with a home fixture against Championship side Huddersfield Town. The terriers are currently sitting in 17th place in the league, just ahead of Cardiff City, meaning there are 36 places dividing the Red Devils and Huddersfield Town.
Although their league form may not be great, Huddersfield cup run has been very different. In the 3rd Round, they traveled to Reading, expecting a loss, only to come away with a victory from a 5-0 thrashing! An early red card for Reading within 7 minutes meant James Vaughan got a brace, Danny Ward scored two, and Jermaine Beckford finished off the magnificent five.
Then in the fourth round, Huddersfield drew a home game to League One side Sheffield United. Lee Novak kicked off the scoring early in the second half, with James Vaughan scoring another. Novak grabbed a goal in the last minute to secure the 3-0 victory. Alex Smithies and James Vaughan are known by many as key players, who Vidic and Co. will need to stop if they want to progress in the FA Cup.
Former Manchester United player Oliver Norwood is expected to play, which could cause a stir between the fans of the opposing teams. Oliver joined at the start of the 2012/2013 season after multiple loan spells at different clubs, for a fee of £400k. He is known for his excellent free kick taking and could grab a goal at Old Trafford, something he couldn't manage in a United shirt.
Manchester United have so far beaten Swansea 1-0 in Wales thanks to a Javier Hernandez goal, and then Nemanja Vidic secured a 1-0 win at home against Leicester City. The Red Devils have only managed narrow wins, so an upset could be on the cards against Huddersfield Town.
The tie will be played at Old Trafford on Saturday 16th February 2013.

The Capital One Cup Final Opponents
So Manchester United have reached the final of the Capital One Cup following the success against rivals Manchester City, winning the first leg, and then the second leg. However, the second game to determine who the Red Devils would face was played later. Chelsea v Burnley. Chelsea were doing well in the Premier League, while Burnley were second in the Championship, eager to reach the Premier League next season.
In the first leg, Burnley traveled to London to play the Blues. Charlie Austin gave The Clarets an early lead, but his goal was cancelled out just five minutes later, with Juan Mata getting his name on the scoresheet. New boy Adrian then gave Chelsea the lead on 25 minutes. The boys went into halftime with Chelsea winning 2-1, a scoreline expected by many. Adrian doubled his tally and extended the lead in London, almost putting the game to bed. Charlie Austin managed to pull a goal back, giving the club another away goal on the 72nd minute, but couldn't manage to stop the win for Chelsea.
Chelsea took a lead to Burnley, and were the clear favourites to win. They probably would. The advantage of the first leg, world class players, high morale. It lined up to be a Chelsea vs Manchester United final.
The second leg kicked off. Adrian was starting for Chelsea, hoping to get more goals, with Juan Mata only making the bench. Charlie Austin was playing for Burnley too, hoping to get the vital goals. The first half an hour was bleak. Chelsea had the possession and looked comfortable. However, a moment of magic from David Edgar, the 25-year-old Canadian, gave Burnley a 1-0 lead. Now, as it stood, Burnley would go through due to their away goals. Chelsea needed a goal.
Chelsea pushed and pushed to get that goal before half-time. It didn't come. Instead, Sam Vokes would extend the lead for Burnley and make the challenge for Manuel Pellegrini and his side even harder. Two minutes into injury time is always a good time to score, but for Burnley, it was priceless. The Blues continued to push in the second half but the goal wouldn't come. Burnley had won the game 2-0, and were in the final of the Capital One Cup.
Burnley, a championship side, would face possible Champions of England, Manchester United in the Capital One Cup Final.
A trophy is just on the horizon I can see the headline now! "Moyes Boys win Capital One Cup" haha
