Three reasons why Reading will knock Manchester United out of the FA Cup

Their ability to fight back

A lot of teams in modern day football do not show a lot of fight nor passion when they are losing.

However, Reading have proved that they are not a team to just give up. In their last league fixture, Jaap Stam’s side beat Bristol City 3-2 at Ashton Gate despite being two goals behind with less than 20 minutes remaining.

Big teams such as United can become lackadaisical when they are winning, so if they are tested by Reading’s passion Jose Mourinho’s men could easily crumble.

They may not have beaten their Premier League opposition since 1927, but all records must come to an end at some point.
