Defender knows what it takes to beat Red Devils
Fulham defender Brede Hangeland is hoping to taste success over Manchester United for the second consecutive season.
The Norwegian joined the Cottagers' relegation battle during the January transfer window from FC Copenhagen, a side who beat United in the UEFA Champions League group stages last year.
He admits that the victory was one of the biggest achievements of his career to date and believes that if Fulham are able to raise their game significantly on Saturday then there is no reason why they cannot emulate the triumph this time around.
World class
"That was one of the biggest games I've played and if we could do it again it would be equally as big," he said.
"We played above our level and I think you have to do that to beat Man United. We'll have to do that on Saturday if we want to win.
"They're a fantastic side with world class players all over the field and we should look forward to the occasion.
"I'll do the job the manager tells me to do, if it's marking Wayne Rooney or whoever, I'll do my best."
Taking anything from the United game would represent a positive result for the Cottagers, who having won just once in their last 15 Premier League outings currently find themselves second from bottom in the table, four points adrift of safety.
Focus
Hangeland admits that performances need to improve, and quickly, but he also feels that the club have not had much luck of late, a situation which was perfectly highlighted by Nolberto Solano's fortuitous winner for West Ham in a 1-0 defeat last time out.
"We're playing reasonably well and we can win every game. It's just that we haven't had the luck in our last few games," he said.
"It's a tough game to swallow (the West Ham result) because you feel like you should have won it.
"I felt it was a free kick when they scored the goal and it makes you feel a bit sorry for yourself after a game like that but what can you do?
