Anthony Martial's shot led to Marouane Fellaini's goal
Martial's shot against West Ham was heading wide until Fellaini stuck his thigh out to slot home.
United advanced into the semi-finals of the FA Cup last night after a 2-1 win at Upton Park.
And Fellaini, who has been derided by United supporters this term, couldn't help tease Martial.
"I knew he [Martial] would miss because it was his left foot!" Fellaini told MUTV.
"I was stood in front of the goal and I just put my knee out towards the target. It was important in the end.
"It’s always nice to score; it’s good for confidence.

"Now we have a game on Saturday which we have to win in front of our home supporters."
Fellaini also reserved special praise for Marcus Rashford, who scored a sublime goal.
He said: "I think it was a great goal and I’m happy for him.
"At the moment he’s doing well and scoring goals, which is important for the team and a good boost for us, so I hope he’ll keep going and score goals."
