Former Liverpool player calls on Man City FA Cup semi-final to be played at Old Trafford

A former Liverpool player has called on his old club's FA Cup semi-final with Man City to be played at the home of Manchester United.

Old Trafford has been used as a neutral venue for the semi-finals of the competition in the past however, since 2008, the matches have been played at Wembley Stadium. Fans of both Liverpool and City have been calling for the game to be played away from Wembley as no direct trains from the North West are heading to London on April 16 or 17.

Mayors of both cities have called for the venue to be changed as well as the Labour party but an alternative location has yet to be proposed. John Aldridge believes that Old Trafford would be the perfect venue for the game.
