Everton new signing Yakubu Aiyegbeni is eager to score against Manchester United on his Goodison Park debut tomorrow.

Yakubu told evertonTV: "I have scored against them before, they are a quality team with lots of quality players. I like to play in games like that.

"It's a big game for us and one we don't want to lose. I hope we get a result."

The Nigeria international striker continued: "It will be a good feeling to run out at Goodison.

"In the game at Bolton the way the fans treated me was unbelievable and I hope I will get the same reception at home.

"You want to impress them and I am looking forward to the game.

"They beat us at Goodison last season but this time I hope it can be different. We have learnt a lot from what happened."
