Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is excited about facing Manchester United in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup as they continue the defense of their trophy.
Arsenal was drawn against Manchester United on Monday night following United’s 3-1 win over Preston North End.
Arsenal booked their place in the quarterfinals with a 2-0 triumph over Championship side Middlesbrough last weekend.
“It’s an interesting and exciting draw,” Wenger told the club’s official website. “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.”
The Manchester United Vs Arsenal match will be played on Monday, March 9.
