West Ham United striker Guillermo Franco says facing Manchester United this weekend is a dream come true.

Franco scored his third goal in six starts for the club in last Saturday's 5-3 defeat of Burnley and left the field on the hour to a huge ovation.

He told whufc.com: "Manchester United is a big game, a good test for us. I have played at Old Trafford and I know what to expect. They are a strong team, but I think it is a good match for us to play. We will have no fear and will approach it with the right attitude. They are a strong team but we have to believe we can win. I know Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick last weekend and we will have to watch him."

The 33-year-old added: "I love life my here in London. It is a dream for me, it is very special for me to be here. I am enjoying it so much and want to bring the team and the fans more points. We want to continue in this way and get more wins."
