Reading boss Paul Ince delivers Erik ten Hag verdict ahead of Manchester United FA Cup fixture

Reading manager Paul Ince has hailed the job Erik ten Hag has overseen so far at Manchester United ahead of Saturday night's FA Cup fourth-round clash between the two clubs at Old Trafford.

United, who put one foot in the Carabao Cup final with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the first leg of their semi-final showdown at the City Ground on Wednesday evening, will be looking to avoid a cup upset and progress to the fifth round for the eighth time in the last nine seasons. The Reds defeated Everton 3-1 in the last round, comfortably booking a date with the Royals.

United have been in blistering form at Old Trafford in recent months, so much so that their form on their own patch has been the bedrock of the progress they have made so far this season. They have lost just twice on home soil in all competitions this term, last losing in M16 back in September.
