Arsène Wenger says he is excited about the
prospect of facing Manchester United in the quarter-finals
of the FA Cup.
The holders travel to Old Trafford on Monday, March 9,
having progressed serenely to the last eight with victories
over Hull City, Brighton and Middlesbrough.
Arsenal were beaten by Louis van Gaal’s team in the league
earlier this season but Wenger was encouraged by his
team’s performance in that 2-1 defeat at Emirates
Stadium.
“We came out of the first game with some frustration
because we had produced a performance and didn’t get a
result,” the manager told Arsenal.com. “That can happen in
football. But if you produce a performance, nine times out
of 10 you will win the game. That’s what we want to
reiterate.
“It’s an interesting and exciting draw," he added. "We are
the holders of this cup and we want to do absolutely
everything to keep it. At some stage you have [to play the
bigger teams].
“Last year we played Liverpool, Everton, Tottenham and
that’s what you do to get through. It’s a good opportunity
for us that we want to take.”
