Fulham's on-loan Charlton defender Steven Sessegnon is excited by the prospect of tonight's Carabao Cup quarterfinal at Manchester United.

Old Trafford was a venue which was once an annual stop on the Premier League circuit for Charlton, but one where they have not played since relegation in 2007.

“I'm glad I can be a part of it, to take Charlton fans, especially the young ones who have never experienced it, to a Premier League stadium," says Sessegnon to the London Evening Standard. “We're going to really give it a go."

Sessegnon went close to League One promotion on loan at Plymouth last term, but after Fulham were promoted back to the top flight in May, the decision to go out on loan again this season was, he says, not a difficult one.

“We had a very honest conversation," he says of last summer's talks with Fulham and Marco Silva. “It was unrealistic for me to try and fight for a place for where Fulham were trying to get to. Accepting reality and accepting where I'm at is best in terms of my development."
