Fulham FA Cup fixture arranged

Manchester United’s Emirates FA Cup fifth-round tie against Fulham will take place on Sunday 2 March.

The Old Trafford encounter is to kick off at 16:30 GMT and will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK.

Ruben Amorim’s Reds are looking to knock a third fellow Premier League team out of the competition, following victories over Arsenal and Leicester City in the previous rounds.

The clubs last met in the FA Cup in a stormy affair two years ago, when Fulham finished with nine men as United came from behind to win 3-1, thanks to two goals from Bruno Fernandes and a cheeky backheel by Marcel Sabitzer.

Ruben’s side won the most recent clash, in the league, with a 1-0 triumph at Craven Cottage last month, as Lisandro Martinez scored the winner.

This will be the first-ever United game to feature semi-automated offside technology, following Thursday’s FA statement on the subject.

The eight fifth-round ties are split across four days, starting with Aston Villa’s match with Cardiff City on the final day of February, and finishing on the Monday (3 March), when Nottingham Forest take on Ipswich Town.
