Chelsea, after their 3-1 victory over Watford, travel to either Blackburn Rovers or Coventry City.
The only other team definitely through, Everton, who beat Aston Villa 3-1, are home to West Ham United or Middlesbrough.
Arsenal face Cardiff City in a fourth-round replay Monday, the winners of that tie facing Burnley for the right to play the winners of the fifth-round tie between Sheffield United and Hull City.
The quarter-finals are scheduled to be played on the weekend of March 7.
The draw in full:
Blackburn Rovers or Coventry City v Chelsea; Swansea City or Fulham v Manchester United; Cardiff City or Arsenal or Burnley v Sheffield United or Hull City; Everton v West Ham United or Middlesbrough.
