Plymouth manager Paul Sturrock is relishing the prospect of facing former side Dundee United in Saturday's friendly at Home Park.The Pilgrims face the SPL side in their penultimate friendly ahead of the new season.

Having given his players a day off following the midweek defeat to Yeovil, Sturrock is hopeful they will be suitably refreshed for the visit of his former side.

"I think the players were a wee bit leg weary the other night. I gave them a day off so they could get some rest," Sturrock told the Herald.

"It will be a very enjoyable day. They (United) are my team and I'm looking forward to it.

"I spent 21 years there - 15 as a player, four as a coach and two as a manager - and the club and the supporters are very special to me."
