29 Jan 2001 HARRY FEARING NO-ONE AFTER UNITED WIN
West Ham manager Harry Redknapp believes his side are capable of beating anybody after Paolo di Canio's goal sent the Hammers into the Fifth Round and inflicted the first FA Cup defeat on Manchester United at Old Trafford for nine years.
“I think Barthez was trying to psyche Paolo out. It was as though he was saying: 'You're offside, don't bother' and maybe he was waiting for Paolo to pick up the ball.
“It was strange and I thought: 'What's happening here?' But nothing bothers Paolo. There's no-one I would want on the ball in front of goal more than Paolo. He's a clinical finisher.”
Manchester United must now focus their attentions on the Premiership and the Champions League in the second half of the season whilst West Ham will feel they have a realistic chance of reaching their first FA Cup final since they lifted the trophy in 1980.
