The result is all that matters in a big local derby and thatâs a huge draw for Ole with the cherry on the cake of advancement via the lottery.
Rochdale have real pedigree in this tournament. They were finalists all the way back in only its second renewal.
In 1983 Everton were losing a league cup tie to then lowly Oxford ( I think) the Goodson faithful were roaring for the head of Howard Kendall. Everton prevailed with 2 late goals and went on to reach the final and win the FA Cup . Two leagues and a cup winners cup followed . I feel Man U are on the cusp of real glory .
A misplaced Kevin Brock back pass changed the course of history.
The last great united team was built around a league cup success.

Great comparison
The famous Mark Robins match at Forest in January 1990 also springs to mind - although United were still three years away from winning the league at that point
Theyâre a lot closer now

The Scottish soccer afficionados on this site must bemoan that the Scottish game doesnât have similar competitiveness in derby games . Partick Thistle put in a lame show in tonightâs Glasgow derby.
Oh well.
Klopp will be sticking out the kids mate

Ole would want to tread carefully on that trip to Colchester Football Club. They should keep up the practice on their penalties again. All five were dispatched with aplomb tonight.
Layer Road always a difficult place to go
The town of Colchester was founded by Romans and that warrior spirit continues to this day
SIDS having a meltdown after united march into the next round of the cup
Sandwiched between FA Cup final appearances in 1970 and 1972, Don Revieâs all conquering Leeds United crashed out of the FA Cup to Colchester at Layer Road in 1971 in the 5th round.
As I said, mate, all important bragging rights are very much with Manchester United fans such as yourself tonight
Congrats on a win that will make a lot of people sit up and take notice of how good this United team is
