A probe has been launched after fans claimed there had been an mistake during the FA Cup draw, according to reports.
The Daily Star reports that supporters believe they saw Manchester United wrongly chosen as Aston Villa's rivals in the next round of the cup.
The paper claims that during the live draw, ex-Arsenal star Sammy Nelson, 58, announced the number 24 - Man United - ball from the perspex tumbler.
He declared United, managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, 65, would play Villa in the third round of English football's biggest cup competition.
But some fans were convinced they actually saw the number 25 ball on their screens, which represented Middlesbrough, managed by Gareth Southgate, 37.
And a replay of the draw seems to show it does bear the number 25.
