UNITED TO FACE TOTTENHAM IN FA CUP SEMI-FINAL

The FA Cup semi-final draws have been made, with the matches to be played over the weekend of 21-22 April.

The draw sees Manchester United match up against Tottenham Hotspurs, while 'bad bele' rivals Chelsea will be taking on Southampton in the other semi-final clash.


United will be hoping for a 'do-me-i-do-you' result, after suffering a 2-0 loss to Spurs in their last League meeting at Wembley in January.


The last time United met Tottenham in the FA Cup was in 2009, where two goals from Dimitar Berbatov and 'Ichie' Paul Scholes sealed a 2-1 win for United.

We hope José 'Uchenna' Mourinho and his troops take this FA Cup matter serious, as this is our last shot at finishing the season with any silverware...we don't wanna hear any 'story for the gods' after the match.

A goal each from Romelu 'Timaya' Lukaku and Nemanja 'Agu' Matic was enough to send United through to the FA cup semi-final.
Here are five things Man United Naija FM learnt from the clash:
1. 25-GOAL LUKAKU
United's Striker-in-chief continued to shut his critics up with another goal against Brighton, to take his goal tally to 25 this season.

The big Belgian headed home a 'choco-milo' cross from Matic to score his 12th goal in 11 FA cup appearances. Lukaku clearly loves the FA cup and we hope he can win it for United this season.
2. EXCELLENT MATIC
The midfield general Nemanja 'Agu' Matic had an excellent game against Brighton. His injury time 'bulala'(whip) shot against Crystal Palace appears to have opened his goal scoring chapter for United.

It was a case of one "one good turn deserves ano…
