Preston boss Grayson thrilled to set up Man Utd Cup clash

Preston North End boss Simon Grayson was delighted with their FA Cup win at Sheffield United.

The result sets up a fifth round tie against Manchester United.

A double from Paul Gallagher either side of Paul Huntington's header wiped out Jamie Murphy's first-half opener for the Blades.

Grayson said, "The football club deserves it because we have not had any ties like this over the last few years.

"I'm sure Deepdale will be full, it's a massive boost for us, the profile of the game makes it a fantastic attraction.

"Both teams knew what was at stake and we will now play Manchester United at home, one of the biggest clubs around and we will enjoy that when it comes, you want to ply your trade against the best players around.

"We hope this can galvanise us and give us a boost for the rest of the season and now we are really looking to kick on and achieve our main objective which is promotion."
