Roy Hodgson 'sad' about Liverpool's FA Cup trip to Manchester United
Posted Monday, November 29, 2010 by theguardian.com
Roy Hodgson will take Liverpool to Old Trafford in January.
Roy Hodgson was frustrated after the FA Cup third‑round draw produced a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United for his Liverpool team, meaning that one of the more celebrated clubs in the competition will make a swift exit.
Hodgson's first reaction was to offer a simple "good", through gritted teeth, but he subsequently said that an entertaining occasion awaits.
"It will be an excellent game of football, but it's a bit unfortunate that two Premier League teams of the quality of Manchester United and us get drawn together," he said.
"I always feel that's a bit sad. But it'll be a cracking game of football. No doubt we'll find ourselves on the television again. We seem to be on every week, so I better get my make-up ready."
