Grayson says Preston highly motivated for Man Utd clash

Preston North End boss Simon Grayson feels they're capable of winning their FA Cup tie against Manchester United.

United host Preston on Monday night.

The manager said: "This football club has got fantastic history and tradition.

"You can reel off a number of players who everyone will recognise with Sir Tom Finney being the top man.

"This weekend is quite poignant with it being the first anniversary of his death.

"It would be a fantastic way for us to mark what he did for this football club with a good performance and hopefully a result for him.

"It's got to inspire them. You've got to go into a game like this and enjoy it."
