Northampton boss Rob Page lifts ban on his players discussing Manchester United

After banning talk of Northampton's glamour tie against Manchester United, Cobblers boss Rob Page insists he and his players are now fully focused on Wednesday night's third-round EFL Cup clash.

Mentioning the visit of Jose Mourinho's star-studded squad to Sixfields was prohibited by Page immediately after the draw almost four weeks ago.

The League One campaign and prolonging the club's long unbeaten run remained the focus for Northampton during the intervening four league games.

The Cobblers were actually beaten on Saturday by Page's former club Chesterfield - a first loss in 32 league matches - and he is keen to see his players address the mistakes they made at the Proact Stadium against Mourinho's men.
