"The team I've got will relish the challenge at Old
Trafford. Playing Manchester United is special. Any player,
if he's worth anything, will want to play in the biggest and
best stadium, against the best team as well.

"How well they perform on the big stage and whether we can
go and handle it, is the test for me. The top teams in this
country and in Europe have that quality of keeping the ball
from you and of making it difficult for you to get it back.

"We won't get carried away, but we will go and have a crack
and I know the players I have got will give it a real go.

"Let's go with our game plan, let's get in their faces,
really have a good go and see what happens. I know I won't
get a lack of effort and endeavour from our lads.

"We might at times, technically, be a little inept, but our
work-rate and application make me very proud."
