Man Utd ready for Liverpool peace talks after FA Cup draw

Mon, 01/09/2012

Manchester United are ready for peace talks with Liverpool after being drawn in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The Guardian says United and Liverpool will hold peace talks over the next few weeks after being paired together in an FA Cup fourth-round draw.

The draw will see United, who on Sunday knocked out the holders Manchester City in a dramatic and controversial 3-2 derby victory, go to Anfield at a time when the Luis Suárez affair has caused significant damage to the relationship between the two clubs and left Liverpool in a state of open conflict against the Football Association.

United have privately accepted they will be open to an approach from Liverpool about improving relations and working on a joint strategy ahead of a game in which FA regulations state away clubs are allowed a 15% allocation of tickets. Liverpool reduced United's usual 3,000 allocation to 1,960 for October's game, citing problems of persistent standing and aisle-blocking at previous matches, but may be obliged to give them more than 6,000 tickets this time.
