Few would have given Shrewsbury Town a chance when the FA Cup fifth round draw was made, but the pressure is mounting on Manchester United.
Louis van Gaal knows the pressure is on to avoid an FA Cup upset as his confidence-shorn Manchester United side visits League One's Shrewsbury Town in the fifth round Monday.
On paper there is a gulf in class between United, 20-time champion of England and 11-time winner of the FA Cup, and a Shrewsbury side battling for survival in the third tier.
But United travels to Shropshire in crisis after a 2-1 Premier League defeat to Sunderland was followed by a toothless 2-1 loss at Midtjylland in the Europa League, with goalkeeper David de Gea adding to Van Gaal's woes by getting injured in the warm-up in Denmark.
