FOOTBALL fans claimed “the end is near” after Manchester United finally landed an away tie in the FA Cup.
The third round draw was made this afternoon ahead of Eastleigh’s clash with Reading live on ITV.

Erik ten Hag’s side have remarkably been drawn at home in the competition for the past three years.
However, that Old Trafford streak is now over after they were picked out to play League One Wigan Athletic away next month.
Last season’s finalists, who were beaten by Manchester City at Wembley, will travel to the Latics on the first weekend of January.
And some supporters were in complete disbelief after seeing United drawn away.
One joked: “Man Utd away in the 3rd round. Hasn’t happened since 1752. Proper end of days stuff.”
Another said: “Away draw on a cup that can’t be right Wigan v Man Utd.”
“The end must be near,” commented another before adding: “Utd getting drawn away just doesn’t happen.”
