Man Utd, the second most successful team in the competition’s history, will be setting out to claim the trophy for a second time in three seasons and the journey begins at Old Trafford.
As there has been no announcement with regard to appointing a permanent or interim head coach, Fletcher will oversee today’s cup tie at home to Brighton and his task is to ensure United are in the hat for tomorrow’s fourth round draw.
As for the Seagulls, they are back in Manchester just four days after holding Manchester City to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League.
