Owen: Onus is on us
Owen Hargreaves says United must make home advantage count in
Sunday's FA Cup fourth tie against Tottenham at Old
Trafford.
Having faced Premier League opposition in every round of the
competition last season, including the final, the Reds are once
again up against a top flight opponent having already successfully
by-passed Aston Villa in the third round.
Hargreaves, who is set to feature on Sunday, would love the
opportunity to help United book their place at Wembley in this
season's tournament, but says the players must first focus on
getting past a Spurs side buoyed by their Carling Cup semi-final
win in mid-week.
"To play at Wembley against one of the top teams would be
brilliant. But we will take step by step, focus on Tottenham and
take it from there," he told MUTV.
"They have some fabulous players and I think it is just a case of
them trying to find the right balance.
"I look forward to every game and the atmosphere against Tottenham
will be exceptional. As it is a home game for us, it becomes a
must-win situation."
