TEAM NEWS: ALEXIS WILL FACE ARSENAL

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Alexis Sanchez will be involved in Friday’s Emirates FA Cup fourth-round tie at Arsenal, but three other players will be missing.

Alexis has missed the last two games with an injury he sustained in the 2-0 win over Reading in the last round of the competition but he will take part against his former club, on what will be his first return to the Emirates Stadium since leaving the Gunners a year ago this week.

“He’ll be involved,” said Ole in his exclusive interview with MUTV before Friday’s press conference. “I think he’ll love it if the crowd turn against him. As a player, pride kicks in and you think ‘I’ll show all of you’. He’s been fantastic in training, his attitude has been spot on so hopefully he’ll enjoy the game.”

INJURED TRIO WON'T BE AVAILABLE

Marouane Fellaini, Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo were all absent for last weekend’s 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford – and Solskjaer has ruled the trio out again for tomorrow’s big game.

When asked by Stewart Gardner if anything had changed on the injury front from last week, Ole said: “No, it’s still those three. Smalling has started training so hopefully he’ll be available maybe next week so it’s looking good for him. Fellaini and Rojo are still a bit away.”

‘THERE WILL BE ONE OR TWO CHANGES’

The Reds beat Championship side Reading 2-0 in round three but, although Solskjaer accepts that the Gunners pose a considerably bigger challenge, our caretaker manager says he will still freshen up his team for the crunch clash in north London.

“Two different scenarios of course, yes, but we have a very good and talented squad,” Ole explained. “There are players there that need to play and have the quality to play. There will be one or two changes definitely.”

HOW ARE ARSENAL SHAPING UP?

Gunners boss Unai Emery is set to be without four players, including two former Reds, for the big match at the Emirates Stadium on Friday night.

Ex-United striker Danny Welbeck is a long-term absentee with an ankle injury, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan is expected to return to full training next week after suffering a fractured metatarsal.

Defenders Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin are also sidelined for the foreseeable future with anterior cruciate ligament knee injuries.

KEY QUOTES: SOLSKJAER REACTS TO FA CUP WIN

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised his United side's attacking attitude as the Reds secured another famous away win over Arsenal and booked a spot in the Emirates FA Cup fifth round.

The Reds boss spoke to MUTV after making it eight wins from his eight games in charge and discussed United's brilliant counter-attacking football and also a solid defensive display. Here's what he had to say...

I trust all the players

“[It helps] when you’ve got good players, but it’s also difficult to leave them out, it’s much easier to put them into the team. It’s hard because you have to think we have the best goalkeeper in the world in David [De Gea]. Do you leave him in just because it’s a big game? No, because you have to trust all the players in this club.”

Attitude was fantastic

“It was a fantastic finish [from Alexis for the first goal] and a great pass from Rom [Lukaku] I have to say. Just before that I’d said ‘Rom you should be in the box!’ [Smiles] But then he makes that pass which was fantastic. The second and third goals were classic Man United counter-attacks. We had to defend properly which we did today and really had to dig in, we had a much better structure than we did against Tottenham. We defended resiliently and the attitude to run forward was fantastic.”

Counter-attacking is what we do against Arsenal

“That’s part of it. If you go through the history and the games we’ve played against Arsenal that’s how it is. I remember a goal I scored in 1997 after we defended a corner; it went from Giggsy to Karel [Poborsky] to Andy [Cole] and into me. Everyone knows about the classic Champions League goal [in 2009] with Ji [-sung Park], Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Wayne [Rooney] running forward. Wazza has scored a couple more like that, as has Ji, so the counter-attacking threat that we have is in our history against Arsenal.”

Shaw did well for the second goal

“He’s just walking into the interview! [Laughs] He was fantastic. You saw for the second goal, instead of just panicking and clearing the ball, he took a touch and drove inside and set up Rom [who set up Jesse]. He did brilliantly.”

Home draw would be nice

“Tonight we’ve beaten one of the favourites and if you want to win this tournament you need one or two proper performances and today was a fantastic one. It would be nice to get a home draw in the next round now. The fans were fantastic and towards the end you could only hear them. Once again they can enjoy the trip back to Manchester! [Smiles]”

ini salah satu yg saya bingung nih om..sebenernya kalo ada yg cedera di lapangan, sampe pertandingan berenti harusnya ditandu langsung ke luar lapangan, ataukah langsung dirawat di tengah lapangan
