Manchester United face Reading in the fourth round of the FA Cup and it is on a TV channel which does not usually show our games.
For those fans not going to the resumption of United’s FA Cup campaign, we have put together everything you need to know about watching the match on TV and online…
When is Manchester United v Reading on TV?
Manchester United v Reading will take place on Saturday 28th January 2022.
The game sees former United midfielder Paul Ince return to Old Trafford for the first time in his managerial career.
What time does Manchester United v Reading kick off?
The game will kick off at 8pm.
The match rounds off Saturday’s programme of fourth round matches.
What TV channel is Manchester United v Reading on?
The only way to watch the game is on ITV4.
That is not a traditional channel for football, but BBC and ITV split the television rights for the FA Cup.
It appears ITV1 do not want to disrupt their evening schedule of prime-time Saturday night TV, so United have been shunted to ITV4 instead.
The build-up to the game starts at 7.15pm, with Roy Keane on punditry duty.
How to live stream Manchester United v Reading online
Fans can watch the match on ITVX via a variety of platforms including consoles, tablets and smartphones.
The game is of course on free-to-air TV, so anyone with Freeview can watch it.
Our prediction: Manchester United v Reading
United got back to winning ways in midweek by beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 and we would expect a similarly professional job here.
That said, Erik ten Hag may want to make some changes to his team to rest players here, which could lead to a disjointed performance against a team and manager who will be keen to make waves.
We’ll go with 3-1 on a night where some fringe players will be hoping for an opportunity to show what they can do and some established stars may get a night off.
