Stam set for Old Trafford reunion in FA Cup
Jaap Stam will return to Old Trafford with Reading when the club takes on Manchester United in the FA Cup third round.
Stam represented United for three years between 1998 and 2001, helping the club to a Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FA Cup treble in 1999.
He was then sold to Lazio with reports at the time suggesting the decision was taken due to Stam criticising manager Alex Ferguson and some of his United team-mates in his book, although the Scot later clarified it was due to sporting reasons.
The Dutchman has made a good start to life as Reading manager and his side sits third in the Championship, although it was beaten 5-0 by Fulham at the weekend.
United, whose 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Wembley in May saw it tie with Arsenal on 12 FA Cup wins, has endured a disappointing start to the Jose Mourinho era and are sixth in the Premier League.
