FA Cup 5th round draw recap: Man Utd awaiting replay result, Wrexham face huge potential tie

Thanks for joining us

That's all from us for tonight's FA Cup fifth round draw. Stay tuned to SPORTbible for all the reaction from the draw and coverage of the fifth round, as teams look to take one step closer to Wembley. Thank you for tuning in to tonight's live blog.

Meanwhile, National League Wrexham will have to defeat Championship side Sheffield United in a replay to progress to round five, with the winner taking on Antonio Conte's Tottenham.

The two sides, who are three divisions apart, played out an entertaining 3-3 draw at the Racecourse Ground on Sunday, and will have to do it all again at Bramall Lane next week.

Manchester United will face either Derby, of League One, or fellow top-flight side West Ham as they look to reach the sixth round in Erik ten Hag's first season in English football.

They may have to do it without Christian Eriksen, who left Old Trafford on crutches after their fourth round win, though it remains to be seen if they bring in a replacement.

Manchester City have drawn Championship opposition in round five in Bristol City - a side that reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup under Lee Johnson in 2018. It took Pep Guardiola's City to knock them out by a 5-3 aggregate score on that occasion.

But the Cityzens are set to travel to Ashton Gate without Joao Cancelo, who is expected to join Bayern Munich on loan, as per The Athletic, pending a medical.

Transfer window latest

As the draw gets underway tonight, clubs remain busy in the January transfer market, with the window slamming shut for English clubs at 11pm tomorrow evening.

The Athletic's David Ornstein has reported that Arsenal Women have made a world-record bid to sign Manchester United forward Alessia Russo, who has five WSL goals in nine games this season.

Earlier on, Chelsea tabled a British record transfer bid, as per The Telegraph, to sign Benfica and Argentina star Enzo Fernandez, with the deal believed to be worth £105 million.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are said to still be in talks to sign Sporting Lisbon right-back Pedro Porro, who left Manchester City last summer.
