Macclesfield Face Brentford in FA Cup

Luke Matheson, the former Rochdale defender who scored against Manchester United as a 16-year-old in 2019, is set to feature for Macclesfield in their FA Cup fourth-round match against Brentford.

Matheson, who has also played for Wolves, expressed pride in representing Macclesfield fans. 'To give back to the fans of this town is the proudest thing you can do as a footballer,' he said before tonight's 7.30pm GMT kick-off.

The match follows a positive performance against Palace, with Matheson hoping to deliver another memorable moment for the town.
