Man U on course for Treble after beating Arsenal: Rooney
March 14th, 2011 - 2:42 pm ICT by ANI
London, Mar 14 (ANI): Ace striker Wayne Rooney believes Manchester United’s FA Cup victory over Arsenal is the perfect preparation for Champions League second leg against Marseille tomorrow.
The United ace said the club is still on course for the Treble, with a three-point lead in the title race and a semi-final Cup spot in the bag after their 2-0 win against the Gunners on Saturday.
Rooney said: “It is great preparation for Marseille. After two defeats this was always going to be a difficult game, to beat Arsenal in such a big game is a great result for us.”
“Now, we need to go home and rest and make sure we prepare properly for Marseille. It’s a massive game for us and we need to make sure we get the job done,” The Sun quoted him, as saying.
The England striker reckons that the FA Cup represents the biggest gap in his medal collection.
A loser in both the 2005 and 2007 finals with United, Rooney said: “I am desperate to win the FA Cup. I have lost two finals.
“It’s got great history and I remember watching it as a kid. To lose two finals was devastating so it’s a great chance now for us to go on and win it this season.” (ANI)
