Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Manchester United e kore e whiwhi i tētahi tohu mō ngā tau e rua mō te wā tuatahi i roto i ngā tau e 26. Ko te kapa a Louis van Gaal i patua e Arsenal 2-1 i te hauwhā whakamutunga o te FA Cup i te po o te Mane, ko te tikanga ka aro atu a United ki te tohu mo te Champions League. Koinei te wā roa rawa atu i kore ai rātou e wikitōria i te Ipu FA mai i waenganui i te tau 1963 me te tau 1977, ā, kei te pakaru a Van Gaal i ngā rekoata katoa kāore i hiahiatia i tana tau tuatahi ki Old Trafford. Ko te wā tuatahi i roto i ngā tau e 26 kāore a Manchester United i whiwhi tohu mō ngā tau e rua. I haere a United me te kore tohu i nga tau 1987-88 me 1988-89 i te wa ko Sir Alex Ferguson te kaiwhakahaere, engari ko ta raatau putanga mai i te FA Cup ka waiho i a raatau ko te wha o runga hei whawhai. Kua wikitoria a Van Gaal i tētahi tohu i tana tau tuatahi i ia karapu i whakahaeretia e ia, haunga a AZ Alkmaar, engari kāore e taea e ia te pupuri i tērā tau. Ko Danny Welbeck te mea i hoki mai ki te whakatoi i a ia i te wa i eke ai te kaitakaro o mua o United ki te wikitoria mo Arsenal ki te tohu mo te haurua whakamutunga. I eke a Danny Welbeck ki te wikitoria ki a United i te po o te Mane i Old Trafford i te FA Cup.
I hinga a Manchester United i te 2-1 ki a Arsenal i te hauwhā whakamutunga o te FA Cup. Ko te tīma a Louis van Gaal ka tino kore he tohu i tēnei tau. Koinei te wā tuatahi mai i te tekau tau atu i 1980 ka kore te kapa United mō ngā tau e rua. E tākaro ana a Manchester United i te whutupaoro o Hackney Marshes.
