We can shock United - Hughes

Aaron Hughes insists Fulham will travel to Old Trafford with the conviction they can inflict further misery on Manchester United.

Last season's Barclays Premier League runners-up endured a 1-0 defeat at Everton on Monday night, despite giving a debut to £24million new signing Robin van Persie. In contrast, Fulham opened their campaign with a 5-0 mauling of Norwich and Hughes believes they can secure at least a point against the Red Devils on Saturday. "We have a very difficult game against Manchester United coming up so it was good to get the three points on the board early," he told Fulham TV. "It means we can go there and concentrate on playing our football, not worry about anything else and see if we can get something from the game. "Last season was the best we've played at Old Trafford (Fulham lost 1-0 in March). If we can do something similar it gives us a good chance of getting something."
