"Manchester United away" is the classic answer whenever a lower-league manager is asked for his preferred FA Cup draw.
But for Michael Appleton, there's an added reason why he'd want a trip to Old Trafford.
The 40-year-old, who went into management after injury forced him into early retirement, began his career with Manchester United - signing his first senior contract one year after the famed 'Class of 92'.
"From a selfish point of view I'd be delighted with Manchester United because of my history and I'm still a big fan, believe it or not - even now," Appleton said after the shock victory over Swansea City.
Born in Salford, Appleton made just two senior appearances for his home-town club before spells at Preston North End and West Bromwich Albion.
Oxford is his fourth managerial job, after Portsmouth, Blackpool and Blackburn Rovers.
