Juande Ramos, the Spurs manager, has won back-to-back Uefa Cups and Spain's Cope del Rey in the last two seasons - and he is now targeting more glory.
His Tottenham side defeated Reading 1-0 in an FA Cup third round replay at the Madejski Stadium on Tuesday, and asked afterwards if he copuld go on to win the Cup, Ramos said:
"We're going to try. The next game is very difficult and we know how tough it will be. They [Manchester United] are clear favourites."
After Robbie Keane hit the only goal of the game against the Royals, Ramos added: "The most important things is to get through to the next round, we have not conceded a goal and it was quite an effort to overcome Reading.
"I'm very happy with the performance. The conditions were not good with the rain and we only had three days rest from the match against Chelsea at the weekend."
However, despite the win, Ramos expressed concern that cup ties could distract Tottenham from their recovery in the Premier League.
"This is my biggest concern," he said.
"We are making a big effort to win in the cups and we have injured players and suspensions as a result."
