After knocking out Chelsea in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, Manchester United may have been hoping to avoid some of the remaining Premier League big-hitters for the next round.

Arch-rivals Manchester City and Liverpool had similarly progressed thanks to wins over Southampton and Arsenal respectively, whilst Everton and Aston Villa were also in the mix.

Instead, in the draw for the quarter-finals on Thursday morning, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side received a massive slice of luck. The Red Devils were handed a home tie against Colchester United, with the winners heading onto the semi-finals stage.

After hearing of who they had gotten in the next round of the competition, United fans flooded to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the matter.
