Manchester United will face West Ham in the fifth round of the FA Cup, with a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs.

Erik ten Hag and Manchester United will continue their trophy hunt after their Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.

Marcus Rashford and Casemiro were on the scoresheet at Wembley stadium, and will no doubt be looking to continue their brilliant winning form over the next week.

After this tie, United will travel to Liverpool to face Jurgen Klopp’s Reds at Anfield.

When is the draw?

The draw will take place after the conclusion of the tie between Sheffield United v Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday evening.

The draw will be broadcast live on BBC One.

When will the fixtures be played?

The FA Cup quarter-finals are scheduled to be played on the weekend of 18/19 March, with the exact kick-off times of each fixture yet to be confirmed.

Will there be any fixture changes for Man United?

Yes. Manchester United were due to play Brighton & Hove Albion that weekend, however, due to Brighton’s progression to the FA Cup quarter-final after a 1-0 victory over Stoke City on Tuesday evening, that fixture has now been postponed until further notice.

If Man United qualify, who could they face?

Four teams have already qualified for the quarter-final of the FA Cup, all playing on Tuesday evening. As mentioned above, Brighton beat Stoke City, while cross-town rivals Manchester City fended off Bristol City 3-0.

A Premier League-team tie against Fulham and Leeds United ended with Fulham progressing after scoring twice, and Leicester City fell to an unlikely defeat to Blackburn Rovers.

Manchester United face West Ham on Wednesday evening, while Tottenham travel to Sheffield United, Southampton play Grimsby Town, and Burnley welcome Fleetwood Town.
