He told Sky Sports: "We are just taking in the events of this evening but they're going to be two fantastic games and the whole of Manchester will be tuning in and looking forward to some fantastic games."

"Over two games we'd fancy our chances against anyone left in the draw, so bring them on.

In the other tie Blackburn will face Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa after beating Chelsea 4-3 on penalties. The game finished 3-3 after extra time.

Paul Robinson saved 18-year-old Gael Kakuta's penalty to put Rovers through.
