Manchester United will lock horns with Championship side Middlesbrough in the FA Cup for the first time since March 2007 when the two sides meet at Old Trafford this evening.
United, who have faced the Teesside club a further nine times since that meeting, got the better of them, winning 1-0 in a quarter-final replay at Old Trafford, after being held to a 2-2 draw just over a week earlier.
A 76th minute penalty from 22-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was enough to seal United's passage to the semi-finals, booking a date with Watford at Villa Park, which Sir Alex Ferguson's side went onto win 4-1.
