What is at stake?
United took a big step towards winning their first trophy in five years on Wednesday night, when they defeated Nottingham Forest in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
With a place in one Wembley final all but assured, manager Erik ten Hag will be hoping to make progress towards another one, as United look to lift the FA Cup for just the third time this century.
Reading’s chances of reaching a first-ever FA Cup Final are remote, but a victory at Old Trafford would be a huge confidence boost, as they look to move towards the play-off places in the EFL Championship.
