Fulham defender Moritz Volz says the Cottagers are relishing
their trip to Old Trafford on Sunday, insisting they have nothing
to lose.
Chris Coleman's side arrive in Manchester on the back of just one
win from their last nineteen away trips last season.
Volz is the first admit that United are odds-on favourites to
kick-off the 2006/07 campaign with victory, but he reckons the
heavy expectation level on the Reds could work in Fulham's
favour.
"Theyll be favourites and under huge pressure to win," Volz told
United Review. "But that's something we can hopefully make use of.
Weve just got to be confident, fresh and positive.
"The way I see it, youve got to play each team twice so we might
as well get one of the toughest ones out of the way early," added
the German.
"United did really well towards the end of last season. They may
not have signed a stack of players this summer, but theyre looking
to get a few players back from long injuries who can almost be
considered as new signings really."
"Nevertheless, we know from a couple of years ago that it is
possible to win up there. And if we do it could set us up for the
perfect start to the season."
