About this listen

Daniel and Rob get in the mood for the FA Cup third round by recalling a pulsating Manchester derby in 2012. United put the holders City out of the competition with a wild 3-2 win. Paul Scholes came out of retirement, one of many unlikely plot twists before and during the game, while Wayne Rooney scored twice in a stirring, fraught and occasionally hilarious victory.
