Newport will play League Two team Manchester United in one of the most intriguing matchups of the FA Cup’s fourth round.
Manchester United takes on Newport in the FA Cup’s fourth round.
This season, Erik ten Hag’s club has had difficulty since United has frequently failed to string together a successful run of play. United should easily defeat Newport in their League Two match, but Ten Hag’s players will want to avoid any possible upset. Even though it was a huge event for the Welsh team, a defeat for United would rank among the biggest surprises in the history of the FA Cup in the contemporary era.
The Premier League’s winter break has allowed United to take some time off; their most recent match ended in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham. Nonetheless, the Red Devils have only triumphed in three of their previous 11 games across all competitions, thus this game might be extremely crucial for the winners of the previous season.
After defeating Eastleigh 3-1 on the road in a replay, Newport advanced to the fourth round of the illustrious competition and will now face the 12-time champions. Speaking on the occasion, the manager of the League Two team, Graham Coughlan, declared that the match was the largest in the history of his team. “It’s a fourth-round tie against Manchester United, for me the biggest club in this country, in Europe, and in the world,” he said.
