FOCUSSED ... Emmanuel Adebayor
EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR has vowed to silence the Old Trafford boo-boys with another crucial European away goal tomorrow night.
The Arsenal striker has shrugged off a hamstring problem and will face Champions League holders Manchester United in the semi-final, first leg.
Adebayor netted a magnificent scissor-kick to secure an away goal against Villarreal in the last round and would like nothing more than to grab another in the Red Devils' own backyard.
He said: "When you get onto the pitch the people around will be singing against you, they will be hating you, and that can give you more motivation."
The Togo ace, 25, scored at Old Trafford last season and bagged the winner there in September 2006.
He added: "I know they do not like me there because I managed to get a goal and you just feel like 'OK, I will show you again how good I am.
"In three games there I have scored two goals and I know it will not be easy to get another one but I will do everything it takes to score or to help my team win the game.
"As a player, two or three days before the game you close your eyes and put yourself in every difficult situation, in front of the goal, at a free-kick or a corner, how you are going to finish if you are in front of the keeper one-on-one.
"Those are the things you have to imagine.
"If you are not doing that then you will never score because what you can do on the pitch is what you have prepared for in your head before it comes.
"As soon as the head asks for something, the body will follow."
United were beaten 2-1 at Emirates Stadium in November and there will be another meeting between the pair in the Premier League on May 16.
Adebayor said: "We know how good they are and it is going to be an exciting game for English football.
"It is going to be tough, but we just have to believe we can do it, that we can win this cup. That is why we are here.
"We have the quality in the squad and are in form."
