Manchester United academy coach Paul McShane has told Erik ten Hag which Reading players he needs to be wary of during Saturday's FA Cup fourth round clash.
The Professional Development Phase chief played for the Royals between 2015 and 2019, featuring in more than 100 games and eventually becoming club captain. McShane, who started his football career in United’s youth ranks, made the FA Cup final with Hull in 2014, where they lost to Arsenal.
He will be hoping his current club can take a step closer to Wembley with a win over Reading, who have won just one of their last five games, on Saturday. McShane said the match-up would be “an interesting game” and pinpointed six players who United need to keep tabs on throughout the match, some of whom have Premier League experience.
