Fredericks says West Ham 'buzzing' ahead of Man Utd clash

West Ham fullback Ryan Fredericks says they face Manchester United "buzzing".

The Irons host United on the back of an impressive Europa League win against Dinamo Zagreb.

"We're all buzzing with that," the right-back told West Ham TV. “It was a lot of people's first times playing in the Europa League, and it was a perfect start for us, to be honest.

“We were all buzzing for it, excited and looking forward to it all day. To come out and give that for the fans who have travelled was great.

“We were raring to go. The gaffer's made it clear that we're not just coming here to take part. We've got a strong enough squad to compete with whoever we play against and we think we've got a good chance in the competition.

“The fans were amazing. To come all the way here on a so-called 'school night'… they were singing, chanting for 90 minutes, and I'm glad we could just give them something to sing about. I hope they have a safe journey home and I'm glad they can go home happy."
