"I don't believe in things being written in the stars. But we take what comes our way. We've got a good memory from the last time we played them [Man City]. Of course, they're a top side, a very good team, in my opinion the best in England. But we're in the semi-finals and we're confident going into those games. "We played well [against City] but there are things we need to improve on and I'm sure they look at that game and there are things they need to improve on. I think there will be two fantastic nights in Manchester."
Manchester United have been drawn to face our crosstown rivals Manchester City in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. We'll play the first leg at Old Trafford in the week commencing 6 January, with the return tie at the Etihad scheduled for the week starting 27 January. Leicester City take on Aston Villa in the other tie.

FT
The whistle blows for full-time and the Reds are through to the Carabao Cup semi-finals, with the draw taking place shortly. Three goals in 10 second-half minutes ensured Solskjaer's side saw off a resolute Colchester, with strikes from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial sandwiching an own goal from the unfortunate Ryan Jackson. Job done!
FT
Yes, despite Leighton Baines's last-gasp equaliser for Everton, the visitors Leicester City have secured a place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals by winning 4-2 on penalties. Jamie Vardy netted the decisive spot-kick and the Foxes join Man City, Liverpool's conquerors Aston Villa and ourselves in the final four.

The referee has indicated that there will be two additional minutes played.
84 MINS
The United centre-back is close to his maiden goal for the Reds, but the 34-year-old Gerken shows incredible reflexes to reach out and touch the ball over the crossbar.
83 MINS
The United supporters are going through the back catalogue, with the tie effectively won already. Paul Scholes and Eric Cantona have been shown some love and, for even older followers, there has even been a chant of 'Willie Morgan on the wing'!
