Phil Parkinson: 'Bring on Manchester United'

Phil Parkinson says that their shock 4-2 FA Cup win over Chelsea has his Bradford City side fearing nobody, not even Man United, ahead of the fifth-round draw.

Phil Parkinson has admitted that he would love to see his Bradford City side follow their shock win at Chelsea by eliminating Manchester United from the FA Cup.

Parkinson's troops booked their place in the fifth round of the competition by beating the Premier League leaders 4-2 for the shock result of the tournament thus far.

The Bantams brought 6,000 fans with them for the trip to London, and the mastermind behind the giant-killing says that the League One side now fear nobody.

"If Man United get through against Cambridge, I'd love to have a go at them," Parkinson told the Daily Mail.

"I'm sure if we went to Old Trafford, we'd have 15,000 fans there. It was like a home game in the second-half and I'm just so pleased for every one of them."

The 47-year-old led City to the brink of Capital One Cup glory in 2013 after eliminating Arsenal and Aston Villa en route to the final, where they lost to Swansea City.
