Manchester United vs Reading Prediction: Do we expect ten Hague's team in the next round of the Cup?

Manchester United and Reading will play at Old Trafford on January 28. The Red Devils are back on the winning track after an offensive defeat to Arsenal. Do we expect ten Hague's team in the next round of the Cup?

In the previous round of the FA Cup, Manchester United's opponents were Everton. Without much trouble, the team beat the Toffees 3:1. The last two EPL matches were disappointing for the Red Devils. First, United lost a 1:1 victory over Crystal Palace in regulation time. Next, the club failed to maintain a draw with leading Arsenal (2:3). United is currently in fourth place in the standings. They are back on the winning track this week as they beat Nottingham Forest 3:0 away in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final.

In the third round of the FA Cup, Reading hosted Watford at home. The Royals showed a solid defense game and sent the opponent two unanswered goals. After that game, Reading drew with Queens Park Rangers 2:2 at home and suffered a resounding 0:4 away defeat at the hands of Stoke City in the Championship. With 37 points, the team is only in 14th place in the standings.

United head coach Erik ten Hague has not yet begun to rotate his starting lineup. The Dutch specialist intends to get the best possible results in every competition. Thus, we should expect the main squad leaders to appear against Reading. By all indications, the current MU should be superior to the mid-tier of the Championships. We believe that the Red Devils will score at least three goals in the next cup game and will not meet the opponent's resistance.
