Manchester United skipper Roy Keane has urged
his team-mates to keep their focus for the rest of the season after
beating Arsenal 1-0 to book a place in the FA Cup Final against wither
Sunderland or Millwall.
The match was won on the 32nd minute from an excellent Paul Scholes strike but Keane has reminded his squad that they haven't yet won the prestigious cup and has also confirmed that they will be treating their Nationwide opponents with respect. "People say there is nothing worse than losing a semi-final, well I think there is. You can lose a final," said the Irishman "Today was a very important match for us. At the start of every season we talk about our aims for the season." "We will respect them whoever we play. You can't get carried away with individuals because you will come up against people over the years. This is about Manchester United." "We knew this was our only chance of getting something and it still is. But we have only won the semi-final, we have another game to play yet." After falling a massive 12 points behind current FA Cup holders Arsenal in the league, FA Cup glory is now obviously vital for The Red Devils. |
