Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson is predicting a 1-1 draw when Manchester United host West Han in the FA Cup.
United have lost their last two games, and the FA Cup is their only viable chance of winning a trophy this season.
Merson was totally surprised at United's performance in their 2-0 loss to Liverpool and fancies West Ham snatching a valuable draw that will push the tie into a replay.
He wrote in his column on Sky Sports:
"Oh my God. I have never seen anything like that Man United performance against Liverpool on Thursday night. I know it wasn't great at the start of the season but this was different.
"Did anybody tell the players it was Liverpool against Man Utd? It is supposed to be the ultimate game in English football, but if you looked at the Man Utd players yesterday, you can't tell me they saw it like that.
"After that display, I'd be shocked if United beat West Ham and I'm going for a draw, setting up the last FA Cup tie at the Boleyn Ground. You
couldn't handpick a better game with the winner playing at Wembley, and it's all set up for West Ham.
Paul finally predicts: 1-1
