Calvin Bassey said Fulham will head to Old Trafford with a positive mindset that they can defeat Manchester United in an English Premier League encounter on Saturday.
Bassey who recently returned from the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast said this during an interview with the official Fulham website on Thursday.
“We have to believe that we can go there and have the ball and create opportunities,” he told FFCtv. “At the end of the day, it’s about enjoying football.
“And we all enjoy playing good football and scoring goals and winning, so that’s what we are going to try and do,” the energetic defender stated.
Bassey added: “Apart from the technical and tactical side of it, I think it’s just believing in yourself. Obviously we know they have got a good atmosphere, they’ve got a big stadium but we’re there to do a job.
“It’s just about focusing. Obviously the gaffer has told us on where we can hurt them. We are just going to try to execute the game plan as good as we can.”
Bassey who replaced Tim Ream in last weekend’s defeat to Aston Villa in the 75th minute is in line for his 20th overall game for the Cottagers so far this season.
