Newport County boss Graham Coughlan is excited ahead of Monday night's FA Cup clash with Manchester United.

The Welsh club will host United in the Fourth Round.

"I never thought playing Manchester United would happen, you can dream, but now it's reality," Coughlan said.

"In the FA Cup as a player, coach and manager, I was always willing, 'Go on, [draw] Man United'.

"A year goes and then another year [has] gone and another and eventually you give up on it and say 'it'll never happen'.

"I've followed United all my days. That's why I was so emotional after the Eastleigh game."
