O'Neill awaits Man Utd

Martin O'Neill has admitted that he had a feeling Aston Villa would be drawing Manchester United in the FA Cup again. O'Neill has labelled the game as a 'great test' for the Villains.

"It's incredible that we should get Manchester United again," O'Neill said. "Getting a home draw is great but I just had this wee inkling that it was going to be United once more. Don't ask me why."

He added: "It's unbelievable - and a great test for us. They obviously beat us 4-1 at Villa Park in the league less than a couple of months ago. They showed us what a fine side they are.

"This cup tie will be another epic with a full house. I will say this, though, we are better equipped now to take on Manchester United than we were in the third round last season."
