West Ham striker Obinna ready to dump Man Utd out of Cup

West Ham United striker Victor Obinna is ready to shoot down Carling Cup opponents Manchester United.

Obinna reckons he is fired up to stick five past in-form United in tonight's clash.

The Nigerian striker, on loan from Inter Milan, is taking heart from scoring his first Premier League goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over Wigan to add to two in the Carling Cup - and he has no fear of United.

Obinna said: "It's not scary to me. That's football. Anything can happen. I could score five - of course. That's football.

"We've played against big clubs already. We played against Arsenal, we lost 1-0. We played against Tottenham and won 1-0. Of course we can change things.

"The Carling Cup has brought me good tidings. Unlike the Premier League. So I can continue my run in the Carling Cup."
