What are they saying?

"We didn’t go too far in the last FA Cup but I enjoyed the games a lot – it’s a great competition. Now we start at home and it would be good to win." – Ander Herrera, Manchester United midfielder

“We will be going there to win. We’ll be going there to perform and hopefully, on the back of that, going through. We’ll prepare as we always do. You go there with a personal pride to perform and show what you can do individually and collectively. If you can do that, then you have a chance. You can do big things.” - Andy Crosby, Sheffield United assistant manager

Who is the referee?

Andre Marriner is the man in charge. He has not overseen a United match all season; the last time he did so, in April 2015, Louis van Gaal's side were crushed 3-0 at Everton.
