Matheson Returns to FA Cup with Macclesfield

Former Manchester United scorer Luke Matheson expressed pride in representing Macclesfield as they face Brentford in the FA Cup fourth round.

Former Rochdale defender Luke Matheson, who famously scored against Manchester United as a 16-year-old in 2019, is now playing for Macclesfield in their FA Cup fourth-round tie against Brentford.

'To give back to the fans of this town is the proudest thing you can do as a footballer,' Matheson said before the match. 'For us to be able to give them moments like the Palace game and then another against Brentford brings us such joy as players.'
