West Ham midfielder Pablo Fornals eager to break 15-year Man Utd hoodoo

West Ham midfielder Pablo Fornals says they go to Manchester United today full of confidence.

The Londoners have not recorded a Premier League victory at Old Trafford since May 2007.

"We have to [perform] the same as we were in Liverpool," explained Fornals, who netted the winner in the Hammers' first Premier League win of the season at Villa Park.

“We were probably better in the second half than the first, but we challenged them and created chances. We're going there to challenge Manchester United too. We did that against Tottenham and got a draw and also against Chelsea, where we should have got a [point].

“I know [Manchester United] are doing very well and are also creating their own style - but we want to be where they are right now and facing them will help that."
