OXFORD United have been drawn away to Middlesbrough in the Emirates FA Cup fifth round next month.

United reached the last-16 stage with a terrific 3-0 win against Newcastle United on Saturday.

They have not visited Teesside since May 1998, when they lost 4-1.

It is only the sixth time the club have made it into the fifth round and the first time since 1994, when they lost 2-1 to Chelsea at the Manor.

They had previously beaten Merstham, Macclesfield Town and Rotherham United.

The tie is due to be played over the weekend of February 17-20, so United’s Sky Bet League One trip to Charlton Athletic has been postponed.
