What They're Saying
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal (via Sky Sports): "Arsenal and United are now in third and fourth place, so it is a big event with two good teams. I hope we can give a fantastic match for the fans. I think if we beat them, it is a big blow for them. But if they beat us, it is a big blow for us. It is very important game, not only for the FA Cup, but also for the [Premier League] rat race."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via ESPN FC): "I know we have not won at Old Trafford for a few years, but I don't believe history plays any part in this game. It doesn't matter what shirt they wear, or what stadium they play in, it is down to quality. If I've learnt something in my life, it's that the performance on the day decides the outcome of the day, not where you play."
