Reading not dreading Cup opponents
Reading will be rewarded with either Middlesbrough or West Bromwich Albion, far from difficult opponents, if they overcome Man United at home.
Royals boss John Madejski said:
There’s just the small business of Manchester United before we get too excited about the Quarter-Final, but we’re confident we can take any side on.
We’re delighted United are coming back to Reading, it’s what The Cup’s all about, and it’s great to get a second bite of the cherry on our own turf.
We’ve beaten Boro recently so we would be up for playing them or West Brom, but we’ve got a herculean task in-front of us first.
Reading memorably defeated Boro 3-2 in their Premiership opener and had knocked out West Brom in the FA Cup a little more than a year back.
