Riise wants to put the record straight

United won with a 90th minute header from Rio Ferdinand the last time the clubs met in January, and the Norwegian defender insists it is payback time.

"We didn't deserve to lose over there and now we're looking forward to playing them at our place," he said. ""We want to go to the final, so to do that we will have to beat them.

"With two wins out of our last two games against Wigan and Arsenal, two clean sheets and some excellent football against an Arsenal team we outplayed, I think we're definitely back in business.

"To win the FA Cup you need to be lucky sometimes with the draw, but you also have to play the best teams and Manchester United are one of the best.

"I am glad we are at home because it is going to be a great atmosphere, a great game to play in and watch. It's the game of the round.

"We were unlucky at Old Trafford especially to lose in the last minute and this gives us a chance to put the record straight.

"For me the FA Cup is very important because I have never got very far in the competition."
