FA Cup third-round draw: Manchester United host Reading and West Ham will face Manchester City... as Steven Gerrard gets Liverpool a home draw and jokes: 'That should get me a job'

Jaap Stam will make an emotional return to Manchester United next month after his Reading team were drawn at Old Trafford in the FA Cup third round.

Stam was a cult hero in his three years at United, and the defensive rock of the 1999 Treble before he was sold to Lazio when Sir Alex Ferguson took issue with tapping-up claims in his autobiography.

Ferguson later admitted it was 'a big mistake' but the relationship was never healed.

After finishing his playing career and cutting his teeth in coaching roles in Holland at Zwolle and Ajax, 44-year-old Stam took charge of Reading in the summer and appears to have made an instant impact.

He has led them to third in the Championship after 19 games but regardless of promotion he will be back at Old Trafford in the FA Cup to tackle the holders, who won the trophy in May under Louis van Gaal.

Steven Gerrard and Ian Wright drew the ties in London and shared a joke when they produced a home fixture for Liverpool against Newport or Plymouth of League Two.

'I've got you a job with Klopp,' quipped Wright, who drew the away teams. 

'Yep, I should get a job for that,' smiled Gerrard, who ended his playing career last month after ending the MLS season with Los Angeles Galaxy and is seeking a move into coaching.

Wright was unable to deliver a home draw for Arsenal who will travel to Preston.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's first FA Cup tie will be at West Ham's London Stadium and Antonio Conte's will be at home against Peterborough or Notts County.

Ailing champions Leicester are at Everton and Tottenham are at home against Aston Villa.

Gerrard and Wright failed to produce any romance for the non-league teams left in the competition.

Barrow were drawn at home against Rochdale and Sutton at home against AFC Wimbledon, who came back from three-down to beat Curzon Ashton 4-3 in the second round.

The winners of Eastleigh and Halifax will go to Brentford. 

Stourbridge of the Northern Premier, the lowest ranked team in the draw, will travel to Wycombe if they beat Northampton.
