DAVIS RELISHING UNITED CHALLENGE
Steven Davis will relish the opportunity to challenge himself against the best when Fulham play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday - and hopes to learn from the experience.
The 22-year-old central midfielder has played against United before, for his former club Aston Villa, but he has never won a point against Sir Alex Fergerson's side.
As a child the Northern Irish international, who manager Lawrie Sanchez thinks could develop into "another Frank Lampard", always dreamed of playing at Old Trafford, against the best in the game.
He said: "Growing up as a boy you want to play at stadiums like Old Trafford and against the best players.
"They have world class players, so we know it will be a tough game. United are going to be challenging for the title, but hopefully we will take something from it.
"It's good to come up against players like Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo and challenge yourself.
"You can only learn from these experiences and improve your own game."
The £4m summer-signing continued: "With Villa I never got a good result against United, so it would be good to put that right.
"We are not just going to turn up. I don't see why we can't get a result because we have done well against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea so far this season.
"We haven't got the points we have wanted, but we have definitely been in those games, and we'll go to Old Trafford with a game plan."
