Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has heaped praise on Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger ahead of the FA Cup tie on Monday evening.
Ahead of Monday night’s game, Van Gaal has taken time out to issue Wenger with praise for his loyalty and commitment towards Arsenal, something which the Dutch coach claims can only be done in England at the present time.
“In my opinion what he has done is amazing,” BT Sport quotes him as saying. “It can only be in England, I believe, where managers are so long committed with one club.
“It shows how much he can mean for a club as a manager. I like that – like Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger – I think it’s fantastic that you can do that.”
In other FA Cup ties, Aston Villa are through to the semi-finals after beating West Bromwich Albion; Bradford City and Reading drew 0-0 and Liverpool and Blackburn are set to face off on Sunday afternoon.
