Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakapono ana te kaiwhakahaere o Manchester United, a Louis van Gaal, ko te putanga o te hauwhā whakamutunga o te FA Cup ki a Arsenal, ehara i te mea ka pa ki te mutunga o te tohu tawhito, engari ko te whakataetae mo nga waahi Champions League. Ka haere te Gunners ki Old Trafford i te Mane ki te tiaki i te tohu i wikitoria e ratou ki a Hull City i te tau kua hipa me nga taha e rua e whakataetae ana mo te waahi i roto i te Premier League's top-four. I kii a Van Gaal: 'Ko Arsenal me United kei te tuatoru me te tuawha o nga waahi, no reira he huihuinga nui me nga tiima pai e rua. Ko te tūmanako ka taea e mātou te tuku i tētahi tukinga whakamiharo mō ngā kaiwhaiwhai. E whakapono ana te kaiwhakahaere o Manchester United a Louis van Gaal ka pāngia hoki te Pirimia Rōpū e te whiringa toa o te kapa FA. Ko Ashley Young (matau) te toa i te tukinga ki a Newcastle kia kite a Manchester United i te tuawha o te riiki. Kua whakamoemiti a Van Gaal ki te kaiwhakahaere o Arsenal a Arsene Wenger mo tana mahi'maere' i te karapu raki o Raanana. Ki taku whakaaro, ki te wikitoria tatou i a ratou, he wero nui tena ki a ratou, engari ki te wikitoria ratou i a tatou, he wero nui tena ki a tatou. He kēmu tino hira, ehara i te mea mo te FA Cup anake, engari mo te [Premier League] rerenga kiore hoki.' I mihi hoki a Van Gaal ki te roa o te rangatira o Gunners a Arsene Wenger, nana nei i whakahaere te Arsenal mai i te 1996. I tapiritia e ia: 'Ki taku whakaaro he mea whakamiharo tana mahi. I Ingarangi anake pea, e whakapono ana ahau, kei reira nga kaiwhakahaere e pumau ana ki te karapu kotahi. E whakaatu ana i te nui o tana tikanga ki te karapu hei kaiwhakahaere. He pai ki ahau - pēnei i a Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger - Ki taku whakaaro he mea whakamiharo ka taea e koe te mahi i tena.' I tēnei wā, e whakaae ana a Marouane Fellaini kei te anga atu a United ki tētahi 'kōwhiringa nui' ki a Arsenal mēnā ka mutu te wā ki tētahi tohu. Ko te kaitakawaenga o Belgium, i noho i te taha ngaro i te whiringa toa o te Wembley FA Cup me Everton, e kii ana ko te taha o Louis van Gaal ka taea te whakawhirinaki mai i to wikitoria whakamutunga ki a Newcastle i waenganui o te wiki. E mea ana a Marouane Fellaini (māui) kei te tū mai a United mō tētahi 'kōwhiringa nui' ki a Arsenal i te FA Cup i te Mane. Ko te kaitakawaenga o Newcastle, ko Jonas Gutierrez, e takahi ana i a United's Ander Herrera (matau) Ko te rangatira o Manchester United...
Ka tūtaki a Manchester United ki a Arsenal i te hauwhā o te whutupōro FA Cup. Kei te whakataetae hoki ngā karapu e rua mō te wha o ngā kapa tuatahi i te Pirimia Pirimia. E whakapono ana a Louis van Gaal ka taea e te kēmu Ipu te awe i te kaha o te riiki. Kua whakamoemiti a ia ki a Arsene Wenger mō tana mahi ki Arsenal. Ka ngaro te kaitautoko o United a Jonny Evans i te hauwhā o te whiringa toa na te whakatārewatanga.
