It will be the fourth meeting between the two sides in the league since 2013, all of which took place at Old Trafford, and Reading fans will not enjoy another trip to Manchester.
Eric ten Hag‘s side has a ten-game winning streak in all competitions at home, with Marcus Rashford particularly reaching top gear as he and his teammates impress on all fronts.
Reading came into the final time out in this match after a heavy defeat to Stoke, putting them 14th in the Championship table. However, they are only five points off the playoff spots.

Manchester United vs Reading team news
Harry Maguire could get a rare start for United, having served a mid-week suspension, although Luke Shaw is doubtful and will certainly miss Diogo Dalot.
Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial could make their return, while Jack Butland will hope for a debut in goal if Ten Hag chooses to rest David de Gea. The United boss, meanwhile, has played down any suggestion that Rashford is wearing a knock.
Jack Butland could make his Manchester United debut
/ FATHERAndy Carroll is fit for the visitors after an ankle injury, although Sam Hutchinson, Naby Sarr, Ovie Ejaria and Liam Moore remain unavailable.
Young full-back Kelvin Abrefa, who has not played since scoring in the third round at Watford, could be involved in some capacity.
Prediction Manchester United vs Reading
Man United seem too strong for most teams at the moment, especially at Old Trafford where they are still in imperious form.
It looks set to be another comfortable evening on home soil for the Ten Hag side against a Reading side who have won just one of their last ten games on the road.
United win 3-0.
