LVG: Man Utd disappointed to 'give victory' to Arsenal

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal felt
his side gave away the FA Cup quarter-final to
Arsenal .
The Red Devils lost 2-1 to the Gunners at Old
Trafford on Monday night courtesy of goals from
Nacho Monreal and Danny Welbeck either side of
Wayne Rooney’s equalizer.
The manner of Welbeck’s eventual winner, which
came via a poor backpass from Antonio Valencia,
was not lost on van Gaal who felt it was a
missed opportunity for his United side while
excusing the Ecuadorian for his mishap.
“It is very disappointing when you give the
victory. You don’t lose from your opponent, you
have lost from yourself,” he said.
“That is the right expression I think and that is
very disappointed. The players are very
disappointed because you know that it could be
different.
“When you see the second goal, it was nothing.
We gave it away, so the man (Valencia ) who was
doing that was the best man of my team and
that is also for him so disappointing. He did it
not with purpose. It happens.”
