Fergie Pleased With Cup Draw
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was happy to see his side drawn home advantage against Portsmouth in the FA Cup quarter final.
Despite the fact that the Red Devils will be taking on another Premiership side having seen off Aston Villa, Tottenham and Arsenal, Ferguson insists he is happy with the draw as playing at Old Trafford gives his side a boost.
"It's a home draw, so it doesn't matter who you get. But it's typical that we have another Premier League team!" Ferguson told the club's official website.
"The good thing about the FA Cup, though, is that the opposition bring an increased number of supporters, which makes for a great atmosphere.
"We've had two great home ties against Spurs and Arsenal in the previous rounds, and hopefully we'll have another one against Portsmouth."
