The Manchester clubs have been kept apart in the draw for the 6th round of the FA Cup. 

Manchester United's quest for a thirteenth FA Cup win will continue with a quarter-final away to Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City.

Leicester will be hoping to make the semi-finals for the first time since 1982, when a young Gary Lineker started against his future employers Tottenham.
