Desire was the key to the Sky Blues' 2-0 Carling Cup victory over Premier League champions Manchester United, according to striker Robbie Simpson.

The 22-year-old star made his first start for the club at Old Trafford and played a major role as two Michael Mifsud goals sealed City's spot in the next round of the competition.

"I don't normally get nervous," Robbie told Sky Blues World, "but I have to say in the warm up and then walking out of the tunnel into a packed Old Trafford was an unbelievable feeling."

"It's an unbelievable place to get your first start."

"One of the reasons we won today was because we were together as a team and no matter what team Manchester United put out, we wanted it more."

Simpson was also quick to point out the role of more than 11,000 travelling Sky Blues supporters, who he claims played a huge part in City's eye-catching triumph.

He added: "The fans were fantastic. There may have been sixty-odd thousand Man Utd fans in the stadium but we felt like the home team out there."
