Manchester United ace: This is how we beat West Ham
TIMOTHY FOSU-MENSAH has revealed how Manchester United overcame West Ham in the FA Cup.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah had to battle with the talismanic Dimitri Payet in a classic FA Cup tie
Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellaini scored in 13 second-half minutes to give United a two-goal lead in the quarter-final replay at Upton Park last night.
But James Tomkins grabbed one back with 11 minutes left in the game, while Cheikhou Kouyate had his even later strike correctly ruled out for offside.
It was far from a comfortable finish and goalkeeper David de Gea had to make several smart saves to keep the Hammers at bay.
"It was a very big game and a great win.
"I’m happy we won this game and that we can go to Wembley for the semi-finals.
"It’s very special because it was a huge occasion.
"I’ve not really faced an atmosphere like that but I’m getting used to it more and more.
"It’s great for my development to obtain such experience."
