Bolton Wanderers face Stoke City in other last-four tie

Manchester United face the prospect of an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City as their bid for a treble continues.

United, who beat Arsenal 2-0 in their quarter-final on Saturday, were this afternoon drawn against City or Reading, the last remaining npower Championship team in the competition.

The other semi-final will be between Bolton and Stoke, who beat West Ham 2-1 this afternoon.

United are still battling on three fronts as they sit top of the Barclays Premier League and welcome Marseille to Old Trafford on Tuesday for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

City have not won the FA Cup since 1969, Bolton's drought stretches back even further, to 1958, while Stoke have never reached the final.
