HOLDERS Manchester United have been drawn to play Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City at Old Trafford in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
United, who defeated Manchester City in last season’s final, have been rewarded with a home game after their 10 men won at Arsenal on penalties in the third round earlier on Sunday.
