Manchester United’s astonishing run of home draws in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup continues with Newcastle tie their 12th straight at Old Trafford… a sequence which has odds of 4,094/1!

Manchester United have been drawn in the cup for the twelfth time in a row, an event with the astonishing odds of 4,094/1.

The Reds were handed an Old Trafford date with Newcastle United in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup in Wednesday night’s draw to continue a remarkable run dating back to March 2021.

All their FA Cup and Carabao Cup matches since then – with the exception of the two-legged semi-finals and neutral venue matches such as Wembley – have been at home.

The run is believed to be a new record in British football, eclipsing the 11 home games for League One Shrewsbury Town in domestic cup competitions between 2017 and 2019.

United last played an away match in the two domestic cup competitions on March 21, 2021, when they lost 3-1 at Leicester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Since then it has been all home comfort. In 2021/22, the series started with a home match against West Ham in the Carabao Cup, which ended in a 1-0 defeat.

They were awarded home draws against Aston Villa and Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, making it three-in-a-row.

Last season, Erik ten Hag’s team played at home against Aston Villa, Burnley and Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup and at home against Everton, Reading, West Ham and Fulham in the FA Cup, bringing the total to ten games.

In the current campaign, they defeated Crystal Palace 3-0 at Old Trafford on Tuesday night in the third round of the Carabao Cup, before another draw at home to Newcastle.

It is a repeat of last season’s Carabao Cup final at Wembley, which Man United won 2-0 thanks to goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford.

The latest draw means United are in the middle of a series that will see them play seven of the eight games in their own backyard.

After goals from Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro and Anthony Martial dumped Palace out of the cup on Tuesday, the two teams will meet again in the Premier League on Saturday.

United next host Turkish club Galatasaray in the Champions League next Tuesday, before the home game against Brentford.
