New Ghana striker Kwesi Appiah could have face Manchester United in a sumptuous English FA Cup clash but could miss the clash due to his international duty with the Black Stars. 

The English-born attacker's Cambridge United have been drawn against ill host 11-times winners Manchester United after Monday's draw for the fourth round of the competition.

Cambridge United are the lowest ranked club in the world's oldest club competition as at this stage.

Kwesi Appiah, who is on loan at the League Two side from English Premier League side Crystal Palace could have the opportunity to face the English Powerhouse when they trek to the The R Costings Abbey Stadium on January 24.

However he is set to miss the game as he is with the Ghana squad in Spain preparing for the 2015 AFCON tournament.

But if he fails to make the final 23-man squad which would be named by Ghana head coach Avram Grant on Wednesday he would play in the game.
