Aston Villa defender Martin Laursen is wary of Manchester United's threat from
dead-ball situations.
Aston Villa come face-to-face with Manchester United in the FA Cup on Saturday in
what is clearly one of the ties of the round.
Villa have made huge strides as a team this season, but defender Martin Laursen
expects United could give his team a taste of their own medicine.
Martin O'Neill's boys are lethal from set pieces, as Tuesday's 2-1 win over
Tottenham proved. But then so are United.
"We will look to exploit United at set-pieces - but we need to defend them
properly as well because they are very good at scoring goals that way as well,"
said Laursen, who notched the winner at Villa Park on New Year's Day.
"Our success has a lot to do with attitude, wanting to get your head on the ball,"
added Olof Mellberg, who also got on the scoresheet against Spurs.
