Domenech excited by St Etienne clash with Man Utd

Former France coach Raymond Domenech is excited by St Etienne's draw with Manchester United.

The two teams will meet in the round of 32.

Domenech told L'Equipe: "This game has a real fragrance of the European Cup, it feels like going back thirty years.

"With the return of Ibra, the rivalry between the brothers Pogba, all the ingredients of an extraordinary dramatic gathering. It will be necessary that the Stéphanois remember the epic of 1976. It is this kind of match that made the glory of the Greens and they have the opportunity to find this just as great.

"I hope the result will not be decided until the second-leg."
