Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney says they'll happily embrace a tough few weeks ahead.

United face Tottenham and Liverpool in games that could go a long way to deciding whether they make the top-four.

Rooney acknowledged as much when he said: "It's the start of a big two or three weeks for us, but we've done okay in the big games this year, although we could do better.

"It's exciting for us. These big games here, you want to be part of them. The FA Cup quarter-final is massive for us.

"We haven't been to a cup final for a few years and we want to try and win the competition, so I'm looking forward to that.

"The FA Cup is a massive trophy. It's a trophy I've grown up as a youngster watching. I was fortunate enough to see Everton win the FA Cup in 1995. I was nine-years-old.

"It's something I'd love to do and hopefully it'll be this year."
