“For the first 15 minutes I think West Ham were the better team and they created a few chances, but after that we came back into the match”, Van Gaal, hoping to end United’s 12-year wait for FA Cup glory, said. The style is also working – yes.
Januzaj played only one Bundesliga game with Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel disappointed that the United youngster didn’t show more appetite to make the move a success.
“You are now very negative. It is a massive game for us and an important week in the future of the season”, Fellaini added.
Victory ended a run of four successive defeats to Louis van Gaal’s side and despite United putting up little fight against Liverpool’s total domination at Anfield, Henderson has sounded a cautionary note against complacency.
“But it’s a great scoreline for us to take into the second leg and we need to keep going like that at Old Trafford”.
“They are playing well at the moment and are full of confidence so we have to be careful”.
He’s quoted in the Liverpool Echo, saying: “I made a few mistakes”.
“Our game in the first half, we had more chances and could have scored more goals”.
“We have a lot of things to improve and we should do this but a lot of things were really good tonight. For that, we have to play like this again in Manchester”.
The strike cancelled out Dimitri Payet’s stunning free-kick at Old Trafford and secured a 1-1 draw, meaning a replay in east London will now decide who progresses to Wembley.
“We are pleased with the result and not to concede at home in a two-legged game”, said the Belgium global.

“It has always been the position of Manchester United that chants of this nature, which refer to historical tragedies, have no place in the game and do not reflect the values the club holds”, the statement read.
