Cole netted two goals for the Hammers in their 4-0 win over United in the FA Cup.
“Obviously it’s nice to get up and running now,” said Cole.
“All credit to the lads because they put their foot in where it hurts. Everyone is pulling in the same direction and that’s all we can ask for really.
“I think the win at the weekend (over Wigan) was massive for us. Everyone was saying that was a ‘save our season’ match and we followed it up, three days later, with a win against Manchester United.
“It’s a massive positive for us and we just need to keep on building and try and progress with this victory.”
