They will start the match as underdogs but Ramos believes his players now have the appetite to cause an upset against United.

"Having reached Wembley once, we now have to aim to win the Carling Cup Final and to get there again in the FA Cup," he said.

"United will be a very difficult opponent because they are playing at a very, very high level and the game is at their stadium. But we will run and work to exhaust any and every possibility of beating them.

"It's always been my aim to make our biggest impacts in cup competitions because by the time I arrived there was no possibility of winning the League."

The Spurs boss believes the prospect of going to Wembley will set the platform for the rest of the season and promised the club's fans his side will go all out on the attack against the Premier League champions.

He added: "Beating Arsenal like that in front of our own supporters and playing so well was like a final for us. "However, going to Wembley is like a religious experience, a mythical venue in the home of football.

"If you get to Wembley as a coach or a player then it's like getting a Phd or being knighted, in football terms, like nothing you could experience anywhere else in the world."

Ramos is still hoping to have deals in place for both Rangers right-back Alan Hutton and Juventus's former Chelsea midfielder Tiago by the weekend.

However, Hutton played and scored last night in the Scottish club's 6-0 win over East Stirling and assistant manager Ally McCoist insisted he was going nowhere.
