Closing the third round of the English FA Cup, the oldest tournament in the world that is still active today, Manchester United will face Wigan tomorrow night in the country that created soccer in the 19th century. With no more margin for error due to their poor position in the Premier League table and being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, the Old Trafford team are great candidates to win the tournament.

Considering that Manchester City is the defending champion and has been sweeping all the local competitions, the Red Devils have much more to lose than to win between now and the end of the current season, because, if the classic rival is sweet and all goes well, including weak opponents in the draw, the fall for United could be much deeper in the face of a fall.

In any case, coach Erik Ten Hag is on the hot seat if a potential elimination is a reality and the criticism will be many. As for the history between the two teams, according to the Live Soccer website, there have been 19 matches in total between the two historic teams in the best soccer league on the planet. In short, the parity is nonexistent because they do not know of draws between them: 18 victories for United and only one victory for Wigan Athletic. It will be the second time in history that they meet in this tournament: the only time was in the fourth round of the 2016/2017 season with a 4-0 win for Manchester.
