The tie of the third round of the FA Cup with Budweiser will take place at the Etihad Stadium on the first weekend of January after Manchester City were paired with their neighbours from Old Trafford.
It is a clash of the Premier League’s top-two teams as leaders City tackle their cross-city rivals over the weekend of January 6/7.
It provides an early opportunity for United to avenge their 6-1 home defeat to City in October.
