Report: Reading 2 United 3 United struck three times in an incredible opening six minutes to blitz Reading and book their place in the FA Cup quarter finals.
Gabriel Heinze, Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored in an unbelievable infancy of what proved to be an absorbing fifth round replay at the Madejski Stadium. Dave Kitson and Leroy Lita pulled back goals for the Royals either side of half time as the hosts took advantage of sloppy passages of play from United, but time ran out for Steve Coppell's side. Sir Alex Ferguson hinted at personnel changes before the game, and the Reds' starting line-up featured eight variations to that which won at Fulham on Saturday. Gabriel Heinze and Mikael Silvestre replaced Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic in defence, while Saha partnered Solskjaer in attack - taking the place of Henrik Larsson and Wayne Rooney. Wholesale changes were made in midfield, with Ji-sung Park, John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher and Kieran Richardson providing a completely different quartet to that which featured at Craven Cottage. Despite such disruption in personnel, United burst out of the traps and moved into the lead inside the two-minute mark. 27/02/2007, Report by Steve Bartram * Mana ya yg kemaren bilang "nyungsep"? :) kabur?manyun?wkwkwkwkw eat ur own words, mate... the red devils keep on march... :p.
