Mohamed Elneny’s Arsenal have been drawn against Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup while Hegazi’s West Bromwich travel to Brighton.
The Gunners managed to qualify to the fourth round after they convincingly beat Blackpool over the weekend where Elneny was given his regular start by Unai Emery in cup competitions.
Arsenal are set to host Manchester United on the 26th of January [TBD] at home just a week after they host Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea in the league.
It has just been over a month since Arsenal faced Manchester United in the league at Old Trafford in the encounter that ended with the Gunners picking up a point away from home after a 2-2 draw.
Elneny and co will take on the Red Devils after their renaissance following the much called-for sacking of Jose Mourinho with club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer given the job on a temporary basis. Since taking over, he has won his first four matches in charge of United.
Meanwhile Ahmed Hegazi’s West Bromwich Albion were drawn against Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion. The Baggies qualified to the fourth round after beating Sam Morsy’s Wigan Athletic. Both Egyptians had missed out on the tie with Hegazi nursing a knock that he picked up just before the start of the new year.
Mohamed Elneny & Hegazi are the only Egyptian’s left in the cup after Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool were eliminated at the hands of fellow Premier League outfits Wolverhampton Wanderers.
