United now doing all the pressing and Federici is grateful to grab Buttner’s cross. Real good cup tie now. Hunt comes back on again with his third short of the night!

GREAT SAVE Federici! He palms away Cleverly’s initial shot and it looks a tap in for Young but a brilliant follow up save turns it round the post.
20'
Hunt is bleeding all over his shirt again so the bandage job has not done the trick.
19'
It’s United who look like the away side at the moment, sitting deep and playing on the break.
18'
Shorey swings in a dangerous free kick and United clear through Vidic under pressure from Morrison. Great defensive header.
17'
Apart from the opening five minutes, Reading have been in control this. United can’t seem to get their foot on the ball. Vidic penalised for a foul on Hunt.
16'
A great ball down the left wing finds McAnuff in acres of space and he gets the cross in but nobody is up quickly enough with him.
15'
Reading have definitely found their rhythm and are stringing some passes together in the United half.
14'
Young penalised for a foul as Hunt continues to receive treatment. His head is bandaged up and he also has a new shirt and pair of shorts!
13'
Vidic also receives attention so we’ll have a little time added onto the end of this half. Hunt's head is still gushing blood and off he goes. Reading play it back to De Gea.

Hunt is covered in blood after a clash of heads with Vidic. He’s back up and looks okay but there is a lot of claret! He’ll need bandaging up.

Jones swings in a wicked cross and Federici gathers really well under pressure from Hernandez.

STAT: Reading have been United just once before in the FA Cup, at Villa Park in 1927.
9'
Reading seem to have weathered the early United storm. It’s been a good start to this match.
8'
Shorey takes the corner and Vidic eventually smuggles it away under pressure from Morrison. McAnuff swings it in again and United clear again.
7'
Reading have spent the last two minutes in the United half and Smalling is forced to concede a corner.
6'
Hunt does well down the right flank to win Reading a throw. Kelly wins another throw off Vidic. Good little spell for the visitors.
5'
Valencia caught offside down the right flank. Reading take a breather, they have seen little of the ball so far.
4'
Well what a start for United! They could have had a couple already. It was a good early save from Federici low to his left to deny Welbeck.

United with all the early possession as you’d expect. Reading will do a lot of chasing tonight you suspect and try and catch them on the counter. Young plays in Welbeck and he forces Federici into a save!

United nearly score! Welbeck threads it to Hernandez and he dallies slightly too long before getting his shot away. It nearly falls back to Welbeck but Federici gratefully grabs it.
