Blyth Spartans midfielder Jarrett Rivers has revealed that he wants to face Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup.

The non-league side became the first club outside of the top two tiers to book their place in Monday's draw, stunning League Two side Hartlepool United with a 2-1 victory at Victoria Park this evening.

The 21-year-old, who scored the winner in the 90th minute, told BBC Sport: "I haven't taken it in yet. I love running at people, do a step over and get the shot away and luckily it went in didn't it? I want Manchester United in the draw.

"We have been down at half time in this competition before, we are used to it. We have the team spirit and the fans behind us. It is unbelievable for a club like Blyth Spartans."

Blyth play in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, which is the seventh tier of English football.
