Copenhagen players excited by Man Utd chances

FC Copenhagen striker Jonas Wind is excited about the carrot of facing Manchester United in the Europa League.

Trailing 1-0 in their tie with Istanbul BB, if they defeat the Turkish champions tonight they'll meet United in the next round.

Wind declared, "If you're offered a holiday or United, then I definitely jump on the United boat. It could be great to meet them. A quarterfinal will be the first time in the club's history, and being involved in writing history with FCK would be cool.

"We'll go for it, and then it does not mean much to make the holiday a little shorter.

"Now we have come this far, so whether it is five days more or less, it does not make a big difference. We do not think so much about that holiday and whether it will be one or the other.

"It is in our DNA that we will do everything to win, so that with any extra holiday cannot come into question at all. We'll give everything we can tomorrow and hope to go ahead and meet United."
