Manchester United confirm Old Trafford to host FA Youth Cup fixture against Everton

Manchester United's U18s will play Everton at Old Trafford in the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup.

United have confirmed Old Trafford will host the fixture on Wednesday, February 9 at 19:00 GMT in the prestigious competition.

United's U18s scored three goals in the first half in the fourth round FA Youth Cup match against Reading, with Kobbie Mainoo, Sam Mather and Charlie McNeill finding the back of the net to ensure Reading's late goal was nothing but a consolation.

Travis Binnion's side will now play Everton, who stand in the way of United progressing to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup.

United boast a rich history in the FA Youth Cup, having won the trophy more (10) than any other club in the competition's history, however, United last won the prize in 2011, with players like Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Ravel Morrison in that side.

United's latest set of youngsters will attempt to emulate that team, but they'll have to overcome Everton to progress again.

While Everton have won the FA Youth Cup three times, their U18s lost 4-2 to United just last Sunday at Carrington.

Supporters will be able to buy tickets for the fifth round clash and more information will be released in due course.
