Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has admitted that he and his team-mates are desperate to win the FA Cup this season.
Rooney is yet to win the historic competition in his career, having won the Premier League, Champions League and League Cup, and the England captain has discussed his personal ambition of beating Arsenal on Monday evening and winning the competition this season.
The 29-year-old told Manchester Evening News: “The quarter-final against Arsenal on Monday is massive for us. We haven’t been to a final for a few years, we want to try to win that game and we are looking forward to that.
“Of course, I think it is a massive trophy. It is a trophy that, growing up as a youngster, I used to love watching and I was fortunate enough to see Everton lift the FA Cup in 1995 when I was nine years old. It is something which I would love to do and hopefully it can be this year.”
Rooney has scored 11 times in 27 matches in all competitions this season.
