Derby County have been drawn away to Premier League giants Manchester United in the third round of the 2017/18 Emirates FA Cup.


It means the Rams will be taking on the Red Devils, who have won the competition 12 times in their history, for the second time in two years after the two sides faced each other in 2016 at Pride Park Stadium.

This time, however, Gary Rowett’s men will be heading to the Theatre of Dreams!

The draw took place at Slough Town’s Holloways Park live on BBC 2 and BT Sport 1 ahead of Slough’s televised meeting with Rochdale. The draw was made by former England midfielders Glenn Hoddle and Jermaine Jenas.

The Third Round ties will be played across the weekend of 6th January 2018. As soon as a match date and ticket information have been confirmed, details will be published on dcfc.co.uk.
