Missed the game tonight but caught the goals. Glad to see us through. And City in the next round! Big game! I'm not sure if I should be happy with that draw or not. Hardest team on paper but knowing us we'd play better against them than any of the others.

Nightmare draw for Manchester City.
More incentive to hit those January sales. Hopefully Pogba will be back and firing.
Haaland to get a hattrick at the Council house.
Let us beat them again!
Oh what a surprise.
Lucky lucky united. You guys always get an easy draw. 
Took my mates 8 year old to his first game at Old Trafford tonight. He loved it. Glad we won and it'll Keep him away from the dark side (City). He's calling United "we" now.
Mission accomplished. Poor sod. Haha!

Jesus
You are doing god's work.
Make or break for us this month. Hope we are in decent form going into these fixtures and hope Ed can do something in the transfer window.
I’ve given the NSPCC your username, expect to be contacted shortly.
You’ve groomed the poor lad into thinking we’ll be winning 3-0 every week; that’s unbelievable abuse under this management structure.
Why the doom and gloom we comfortable beat them recently. Glory glory Man Utd and stuff!
You know we'll probably shit the bed against them at OT.
Bet United are buzzing the first leg is at home. Can't wait for £38 to go out the account in the morning 
Merry Christmas
Merry ChristmasThrowback to the semi finals 10 years ago though. Was a great season of United vs City games, 3 90th minute winners over the season.
Look like a striker will be signed anyway. A creative midfield is a must buy in January but I don't trust Ed Woodward to deliver that transfer.
Ole just going to chuck the kitchen sink from the get go. Who needs a midfield?
Is that the same year that Owen bagged the winner in that 4-3?
My last trip to OT was for the second leg semifinal v. Citeh in 2010 when Giggsy found Rooney on a cross in extra time. Hope for much of the same.
Yep! Owen winner in the 4-3, then after losing at the Etihad in the first leg we won 3-1 with a Rooney last minute winner at Old Trafford, then at the Etihad in the league Scholes scored in the last minute.
Wait a minute, that’s not God....
Why is League Cup important for us?
Meh. Arsenal are being trash. League Cup games are meaningless - play reserves/youth and don't sweat it. FA Cup more important, but still not a big deal.
Liverpool (A) is gonna be a no-expectations, fun game for us to hopefully pull a nice surprise over them.
Better win the fecking Norwich game. Ugh

Was always going to be City, genuinely think it was fixed. Tens of thousands of fans potentially travelling down from one city is a bit of an ask of we both made it to the final. They'll also get more of that sweet TV money if they can show United vs. City twice.
Looking forward to it though our record is quite good at the Etihad as well recently.

Vaguely optimistic on winning this. WInning some silverware would be a real boost to the team too, especially the young players.
Going to be tough beating them over 2 legs. Depends upon the form and whether we will have any incoming transfers in January.

Finally. An easy cup draw for once.
Aye. I do expect us to lose as City could be looking much stronger by that point (we could too, mind, but realistically they should be beating us over two legs). If we lose the home game then I'd say our chances our slim, but avoid defeat or win and I'd maybe even edge toward us being very slight favourites. Ole at least has a good record against the better sides from what I can remember.
It's probably way better to lose against United in the semis than at Wembley in the final, so that's the best draw possible really.
How very generous of you. Now if the team would kindly acquiesce
Never for a second did I expect anyone but City.
Hmm. Two legs. I think it'll be close to be honest, I can see both teams winning one leg so it'll come down to goals. Gun to head, I think we win at OT 2-1 and they win at their place, 3-2.

10 years on from the previous epic League Cup semi.
I bet you're still on a high from being at that. Quality game.
Palindromic fixture list
What a lucky thing we got City, I was terrified that we would get another team with eleven defenders. The only thing that worries me is what Ole said at the press conference, that he has to come up with a new tactic.
