Fulham boss Roy Hodgson insists their clash with Manchester United is a great opportunity for his players.

Hodgson said: "To beat United at any time is a tremendous achievement.

"It'd be a really good result for us, one that would send ripples throughout English football.

"Even people who have followed us for years won't have gone home too many times and said 'We've just beaten United'.

"There won't be too many results like that in living memory and that's a great motivation for us."
