If there is one man staking a lot on this game, it will be Maguire for the hosts though. The centre-back has struggled with injury, but even after a stellar World Cup campaign, he is effectively fifth in the pecking order under Ten Hag. He must impress today.
In fact, Reading have won just one of their 22 matches against United ivan herrera in all competitions and have lost their last six in a row. Their only win was in a second replay during that very FA Cup tournament generations ago.
This will be the 10th meeting between the Red Devils and the Royals in the FA Cup, and it is fair to say history is on the side of the former. United have only lost one prior meeting in this competition, almost a century ago in the 1927-28 season.
Substitutes: Tyrese Fornah, Dean Bouzanis, Amadou Mbengue, Shane Long, Michael Craig, Nesta Guinness-Walker, Femi Azeez, Yakou Meite, Scott Dann.
READING (5-3-2): Joe Lumley; Junior Hoilett, Andy Yiadom, Thomas Holmes, Tom McIntyre, Abdul Rahman Baba; Jeff Hendrick, Mamadou Loum, Tom Ince; Lucas Joao, Andy Carroll.
Substitutes: Fred, Lisandro Martinez, Brandon Williams, Anthony Elanga, Tom Heaton, Facundo Pellistri, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Raphael Varane.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia; Casemiro, Christian Eriksen; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford; Wout Weghorst.
There's just one change from Manchester United, who will likely rest a few in their EFL Cup semi-final second leg after their big win in the opener there. Captain Harry Maguire returns to the side. Reading meanwhile make two swaps, and bring in Andy Carroll.
But to stay in the mix, they'll have to avoid the magic of the cup, or more accurately one of those infamous giant-killings this tournament is well-known for. Reading are struggling at the wrong end of the second tier, but they could still spring a shock.
Next however, another rendezvous with Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup awaits. Reading meanwhile return to the Championship, where the battle to for a congested playoff race continues.
The whispers were berardi very quiet after his first few games in charge, but they've built to a roar now. Erik ten Hag might just be about to do what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the false dawn of 2021 could not deliver, and end the trophy drought for the Red Devils. But there is a long way to Wembley here.
A Casemiro double and an extra for Fred makes it an FA Cup fourth round victory to remember for Manchester United against lower-league opposition. They march into the last-16 and remain in all competitions; full-time at Old Trafford, it finishes Manchester United 3-1 Reading.
