O'Shea Relishing Huge Week

John O'Shea says facing big challenges like those United will tackle this week against Chelsea and Manchester City is part and parcel of life as a Red.

After edging a step closer to the title with a 2-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, Sir Alex's men will now get ready for a Champions League quarter-final tie against Chelsea on Tuesday and a trip to Wembley next weekend to face their local neighbours in the FA Cup semi-finals.

"It's a special week, but that's what being part of a Manchester United team is all about," O'Shea told MUTV. "If we beat Chelsea we go through to a European semi-final, then we have City at Wembley. They're dream games and we want to come out on top."

O'Shea made a surprise return to action against Fulham after a hamstring injury, picked up against Marseille last month, had looked likely to keep him out for longer.

"I'm a week or two ahead of schedule," he revealed. "I worked really hard with the physios and they've been able to get me back a little quicker. I was a little bit cautious as I didn't want to go hell for leather so soon after coming back. It was a great game for me as I was able to get my confidence back and hopefully I'm an option for the games ahead."
