| Following his F.A Cup heroics against
rivals Manchester City, Tim Howard had admitted that the 4-2 victory sending
United into the quarter-finals of the prestigious competition was one of the
highlights of his short career so far. The American international made 3 magnificent saves to keep 10-men United's one-goal lead in tact at the start of the second-half, and the Old Trafford faithful gave the 'keeper a standing ovation for an all-round superb display. The F.A Cup is a special competition, but the magic that comes with it isn't often understood by foreign players. However, it's obvious Tim Howard knows just how important this competition is to United supporters, and is relishing a possible place in the final in May. "The whole occasion is so hard to describe. The
atmosphere was fantastic. I have never experienced anything like that in my
whole career." said Howard |
