Gary Johnson: 'No selfies with Manchester United stars'

Johnson: 'No selfies with United stars'

Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson has insisted that his players will not be star-struck when they face Manchester United in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.

The League One side, currently bottom of the table, have lost their last three matches.

Johnson told the Western Gazette: "I don't want the lads having selfies with Wayne Rooney. We are going into battle and trying to stop one of the best teams in the world. So there won't be any selfies while I'm around.

"Being star-struck by Manchester United is a concern and you can't stop human nature. This is a one-off game which some of the lads aren't going to have again. I'm sure they will think: 'Can I get Rooney's boots?' You know that's going to happen.

"But we need to make sure we get into game mode. I don't mind it after the final whistle, but I will have the raging hump if my players swap shirts before then."

Yeovil have reached the fourth round of the competition just twice in their history.
