In the FA Cup 3rd round tie Manchester United will be traveling to face West ham United at Upton Park in what will be exciting game to watch. Manchester united Have not won the FA Cup since their 2004 triumph and Sir Alex Ferguson have the squad and players to take the team all the way to wembley and win it this time around as they have quite a few players on Number of positions and even without fielding their strong team they have enough fire power to overcome West ham on saturday.
