Manchester United's potential FA Cup tie against non-league club Eastleigh could be MOVED to a neutral ground due to safety concerns over Silverlake Stadium's 5,200 capacity

Manchester United's FA Cup fourth round may have to take place at a neutral venue should Eastleigh progress past Newport.

United booked their spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a routine 2-0 win over Wigan at the DW Stadium, courtesy of goals from Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes.

Eastleigh, meanwhile, held Newport to a 1-1 draw at Rodney Parade and will host the League Two side in a replay on January 16 at Silverlake Stadium.

But the ground may not been deemed suitable to host United in the next round, due to safety concerns arising from its 5,192 capacity.
