Ferguson to face his son?
Sir Alex Ferguson will be looking for a family affair when the FA
Cup fourth round draw is made on Monday afternoon (13:30
GMT).
The boss was delighted son Darren's team joined the Reds in
reaching the last 32. League Two side Peterborough punched above
their weight to knock out Championship club Colchester and will now
hope to be rewarded with a money-spinning fourth round tie.
Sir Alex told MUTV: "We'd like a home draw and it would be great if
it was against Peterborough... it would give my son Darren a good
cheque!"
United are one of only six top-flight teams definitely in the
fourth round, the others being Middlesbrough, Wigan, Portsmouth,
Chelsea and Arsenal who beat Burnley 2-0 away on Sunday.
Liverpool, Derby, Fulham and United's next league opponents
Newcastle also played on Sunday but they could only draw with lower
league sides, namely Luton, Sheffield Wednesday, Bristol Rovers and
Stoke City respectively.
However, replays for those clubs are respectable by comparison with
Bolton, Blackburn and Everton who suffered shock exits at home to
Sheffield United, Coventry and Oldham. Birmingham were also knocked
out, away to Huddersfield, while Roy Keane's Sunderland lost at
home to Steve Bruce's Wigan.
