Who are the underdogs for the FA Cup clash?Wolves, can't underestimate them
Man United, no longer a big club

Wolves currently sit sixth in the Premier League Table, three places and two points ahead of their FA Cup third-round opponents (as per BBC).
However, where once the Old Gold would be the underdogs of the tie, many believed that the roles had been reversed and Nuno’s side were now the masters, with pressure mounting on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (as per Metro).
Nice to get a smaller club for a change.

What do we think?
The draw offers as one of the ties of the next round of the competition, with many Wolves fans right to be quietly optimistic.
Manchester United are on stony ground, and Nuno will be looking to take full advantage of that in the upcoming cup clash.
