  He added: "We have to keep focused. We have to show character in front of our fans and manage to win that game."
  After losing just once in their previous 15 games, last weekend's defeat, and the manner of it, came as a surprise for most. For Adebayor the reverse was particularly hard to take given that he has been the subject of hatred from Arsenal fans since leaving the club three years ago.
  "Unfortunately we didn't manage to beat them but the season is long, we just have to keep focused and keep going. After losing 5-2 to Arsenal we can't ask for a bigger challenge than playing Manchester United, but we are looking forward to it.
  "It will be a tough game but I think we are ready for it. We just have to show personality and character and bounce back as quickly as possible."
