Newport County manager Graham Coughlan has warned his Man United-mad family they risk being locked out of the house if they dare support Erik ten Hag's men over his team in the FA Cup on Sunday.

The League Two club will be looking to spring a major surprise when they face United at Rodney Parade as they aim to reach the fifth round of English football's oldest cup competition.

But Coughlan and his family are lifelong United supporters, suggesting their could be split loyalties in the household on Sunday afternoon. Coughlan hopes he will have the backing of his family, though, and joked that there will be consequences if he finds out they have been cheering on the Red Devils.
