Manchester United’s plum FA Cup tie against Liverpool has been moved to accommodate the TV schedulers.

The tie will kick off at 12-30 on Saturday 18th February as it is to be screened on the BBC.

Other ties to be screened are Newcastle v Southampton on the same day (5.40 BBC), Chelsea/Everton v Colchester (Sunday 4pm Sky) and City away at Villa (Sunday 6-30 BBC)


Manchester United have released young American striker Kenny Cooper. The 21-year-old arrived at Old Trafford in 2003 but despite featuring regularly for the Red Devils reserve side, failed to make a senior appearance for United.

Cooper becomes the third player to leave United this month, following the departures of midfielder David Fox and Finnish forward Jami Puustinen.
