Nwankwo Kanu says Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is the ideal man-manager.

The FA Cup matchwinner said: "Everyone wants to play under him, he is someone very special.

"No-one knows how he does it. He brings the best out of the players.

"He tells you what you want to here. He psychs you up and tries to give you the belief by saying you're the best.

"He knows what I can do. He said 'King, go and do your stuff, you're the best'. When you hear that from your gaffer you want to do something for him."

Kanu played enough games this season to trigger another year on his contract and he could extend his deal even further.

"A lot of people ask questions about me and I keep coming out with the answers," he said. "This is talent, I have to work hard and the edge is there."
