Reading manager Steve Coppell believes his side have the
draw 'nobody wanted'' after being pitted against Manchester United
at Old Trafford in the FA Cup fifth round.
Coppell, a former United player, admits his team must concentrate
on their Premiership duties before the tie, which is due to be
played on the weekend of February 17 and 18.
United have already disposed of two top-flight opponents at Old
Trafford in the cup this season in the shape of Aston Villa and
Portsmouth, and the Royals boss is well aware of the size of the
job required to stop Rooney, Ronaldo and company.
'Man Utd away means nothing to me until it's the next thing on the
horizon,'' was Coppell's typically understated response to the
draw.
'Nobody wants to be drawn away to Manchester United. It's the draw
everyone would say is the hardest.
'When it comes around it will be a great occasion for this club
against arguably the best team in the Premiership at the
moment.''
Great, at least we can enjoy good
football during the Lunar New year... We can all have our reunion
dinner already then settle down and watch man u take on reading at
