London - Wayne Rooney says Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final with Arsenal is ‘massive’ as he attempts to win the competition for the first time.
The England captain, 29, has twice been on the losing side in the final and is desperate to put that right this season. United, last lifted the trophy in 2004, and Rooney said: ‘We have an FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal on Monday and that is massive for us. We haven’t been to a final for a few years, so we want to try to win that game and we are looking forward to that. Of course, it is a massive trophy.
‘It is a trophy that, growing up, I used to love watching and I was fortunate enough to see Everton lift the FA Cup in 1995 when I was nine. It is something which I would love to do and hopefully it can be this year.’
Chelsea and Manchester City are out of the competition, meaning Monday’s winners will fancy their chances.
United manager Louis van Gaal said: ‘It is a game on a high level. Arsenal and Manchester United are placed third and fourth. It is nearly a final.’
