Arsenal in Trouble! Rooney hopes to end FA Cup Trophy drought

Wayne Rooney has spent about 11-years with Manchester United, won many trophies but the FA Cup trophy still eludes him.
United will confront rivals Arsenal in the quarter final of the FA Cup this weekend and it promises to be a cracker. 

Rooney has missed out in the finals on two occasions, in 2005 shootout defeat to Arsenal and again in 2007 when Didier Drogba’s solitary goal in extra-time earned Chelsea a 1-0 triumph at the new Wembley


''We have an FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal on Monday and that is massive for us,'' Rooney told ManUtd.com and thePress Association. ''We haven’t been to a final for a few years, we want to try to win that game and we are looking forward to that.

''Of course, I think it is a massive trophy. It is a trophy that, growing up as a youngster, I used to love watching and I was fortunate enough to see Everton lift the FA Cup in 1995 when I was nine years old. It is something which I would love to do and hopefully it can be this year.''

The last time both teams met was in Novemeber 2014 in a league match which ended 1-2 in favour of the Reds devils.
