If brave Burton are unable to overcome Manchester United in their FA Cup replay then it will be Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United who visit Molineux after todays FA Cup draw ensured of an exciting fourth round for Wolves Fans.

Wolves beat Plymouth Argyle 1-0 at Molineux on Saturday to earn themselves another home draw. If it's United who can claim Albion's scalp then Paul Ince will be playing against Manchester United for what must be the last time in his career.

"I've had lots of calls already from my mates. This is going to be a big game for everyone involved with the club." Ince told WOW.

  "My initial reaction was let's hope it's Burton - but we are all presuming it's going to be Man Utd. If we look at it that way, then it's a massive draw for us. We played them two years ago in the League and won 1-0 - so if we could have a repeat of that then we'd all be happy.

  "I'm waiting for a call off Giggsy. He's my closest friend at Old Trafford. It won't be long before the banter starts. It's always nice to play your old club and if I'm involved it will be one I'll really look forward to."

Of the draw, Wolves boss Glenn Hoddle added "They don't come any bigger than this. We expect United will go through but Burton are still in it. They were fantastic yesterday and that's what the FA Cup is all about.

  "It's great that it's a home draw - the lads are already buzzing. They want to play against the best and Manchester United are one of the biggest teams in Europe. Everyone will expect them to beat us but this year we have seen already that upsets can happen, so we will fancy our chances."
