West Ham United midfielder Joe Cole has revealed his happiness at making his second debut for the club.
The former England international started his side's 2-2 draw with Manchester United in the FA Cup at Upton Park on Saturday, and assisted both of the home side's goals.
The 31-year-old, who joined the Hammers on a free transfer from Liverpool on Friday, is keen to play down the hype of his return.
"All the eyes were on me, but I am just happy to be out there playing and getting match minutes in and getting stronger," said Cole.
"It is important we keep performing with that kind of desire and keep the club in the Premier League this year, then build from there and go on."
The replay between the two sides takes place at Old Trafford on Wednesday, January 16.
