Red Devils duo Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw let West Ham know the score after the Man United trophy win on Sunday.
Like Newcastle were on Sunday, West Ham fans are desperately hoping to end decades without a major trophy this season.
The once all conquering Manchester United have had to wait for five years for theirs as they lifted the Carabao Cup.
One of the two avenues that remain open to West Ham to end their 43-year major trophy drought is the FA Cup.
And Man United stand in their way yet again.
After a thumping 4-0 win over Forest at the weekend, West Ham’s focus turns to Wednesday’s big game against Man United at Old Trafford in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
David Moyes and his players will go into the game with renewed confidence.
And privately they, like Hammers fans everywhere, will be hoping the occasion at Wembley and celebrations afterwards mean Man United take their eye off the ball a touch when they welcome West Ham to Old Trafford in two days.
But two Red Devils stars have made something abundantly clear ahead of the clash.
Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw let West Ham know the score after the Man United trophy win.
If West Ham are hoping Rashford, Shaw and their teammates might take their foot off the gas or be jaded they can think again according to the duo.
Instead of enjoying the cup win, Rashford made it very clear it has only served to spur ‘hungry’ Man United for more trophies ahead of the game with West Ham.
“The fact that we’ve come all this way and went on and won it is a massive feeling, but hopefully it pushes now to keep going (for more trophies),” Rashford said on Sky Sports after the game.
“The hunger is to have more moments like this. I’ve been in finals when we’ve won and when we’ve lost and when you win them it’s massive for the club, it’s massive for us as individuals and it’s part of our history as a club and we want to keep adding to that.”
Rashford’s teammate Shaw doubled down on the determination to keep going for more trophies.
So West Ham must steel themselves for a fully focused, revved up Man United side when they head north to fight for a place in the quarter-finals.
“I think we enjoy now and tonight but then tomorrow we’re back in training and we have to focus on a big game Wednesday against West Ham,” Shaw said on Sky Sports.
“As you just said we’re still in all the competitions and getting a taste of this now, we want more. So I think our full focus now after tonight has to go on the game Wednesday because we want to stay in that competition and win that too.”
Man United boss Erik ten Hag fired an equally ominous warning to West Ham as well when he responded to Roy Keane ahead of Wednesday’s match.
The fifth round clash between Man United and West Ham kicks off at 7.45pm on Wednesday night and will be shown live on ITV1 and ITVX.
