Manchester United needs no introduction. Solskjaer’s team has been pleasing their fans in recent weeks – it has a streak of eight matches without defeats in all tournaments. Since January 26, the Red Devils have gained five victories and three draws. As for the Premier League, they scored 42 points in 28 rounds, and having a goal difference of 42-30, they share the 5th-6th positions with Wolverhampton. Like the future rival, Man United knocked out two opponents from the Cup - Wolverhampton (0:0, 1:0) and Tranmere Rovers (6:0). The Devils doesn’t lose for five away matches in a row, having gained three victories and tied twice.
Wayne Rooney will play against his team, in which he became a legend of the club and English football. It’s hard to compare the level of the middle peasant of the Championship and the Red Devils, and I think the visitors will gain victory and reach the quarterfinals. Bet: Manchester United to win.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win
