Manchester United’s reward for beating Shrewsbury is a Quarter-Final tie at home to West Ham – to be played between 11/14 of March.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has given an update in regards to star goalkeeper David de Gea’s current injury, according to reports from the BT Sport. “It’s a matter of profession”.
There was a moment of controversy when United went 2-0 up. Heavily critical of their team after the defeat to Midtjylland, the supporters were loud and happy throughout the match, replacing last week’s rage-filled expletives with chants of “We’re going to Wembley”. They were very committed and they performed our game plan well.

It’s just unfathomable and beyond unacceptable that United is now losing to teams that you’ve never heard of.
We have learned because we have analysed Midtjylland. And today we scored.
Van Gaal made no attempt to play down the significance of the Midtjylland tie, fully aware that it represents United’s best opportunity to play in Europe’s premier club competition next season.

“Yeah, we need it”, Van Gaal replied.
In the FA Cup clash on 22 February, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager welcomed both his full-backs, Guillermo Varela and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson. “I think that we are capable of winning the FA Cup”.
Shrewsbury came close at the end but Abu Ogogo wasted two fine openings while they struggled to match United.
The Soccer Saturday panel were aghast at Manchester United’s defeat at FC Midtjylland.
And the Dutchman expects more injured players to return to action in the next few weeks.

With an away goal already in their pockets, all United have to do is score once and sit back. “And we have seen that they are doing that and we think it is always offside”. We gave it everything.
