Manchester United are helping to plot Liverpool’s FA Cup downfall — by giving giant-killers Havant and Waterlooville full use of their training ground this week.
The Blue Square South minnows have been given free access to UnitedÂ’s state-of-the-art indoor facilities at The Cliff ahead of SaturdayÂ’s fourth-round clash at Anfield.
The Hawks shocked League One leaders Swansea 4-2 in last weekÂ’s replay and now hope to pile more misery on under-fire Reds boss Rafa Benitez.
United also plan to invite the whole team as special guests to SundayÂ’s FA Cup game against Tottenham at Old Trafford.
Havant chairman Marcus Hackney said: “United have been very kind in agreeing to let us use their training ground.
“As if it wasn’t already a dream to be playing Liverpool, this just caps it all off.”
United now use Carrington as their main training ground but The Cliff is still used by England when they meet up in the north or play at Old Trafford.
A club source added: “It only took two phone calls and United immediate said ‘Yes’.
“Perhaps they like the thought of helping the non-league minnows get one over on their biggest rivals.”
HAHA good job, GoGo H&W!!
to be fair, quality still floats to the top.
it would be difficult for them to beat Pool but a hard time, maybe.
but it is a nice gesture for MUFC to do such.
