The Red Devils have already eliminated Premier League opposition in Arsenal and now have to overcome Van Nistelrooy, who won this competition as a United player in 2004.

Elsewhere, three other all-Premier League ties will take place, which will mean at least four top-flight clubs won't be reaching the last-16.

The fifth round puts every remaining side within two wins of booking a place in the Wembley semi-final.
