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.''
