Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere says squad is aiming for Manchester United – Premier League
Arsenal’s hopes of winning the UEFA Champion’s League Cup were ended on Tuesday night when the rampant Barcelona side overturned a 3-1 deficit from the first leg to win 4-3 on aggregate. This did not dampen the hopes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463, who told media that his team now has a chance to concentrate more on the remaining cups.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wojciech-Szczesny-c36998 handed the Blues the winning goal in the dying minutes of the game.
Arsene Wenger’s side will learn its FA Cup fate on 12th March, when they visit Old Trafford to face Premier League leaders, Manchester United, in the quarter finals. The Gunners have a great chance to redeem themselves as a win against the Red Devils will put them as clear favourites to win their first silverware in six years.United’s poor recent record has left the Gunners trailing them by only three points and with an extra game in hand.
Young midfielder, Jack Wilshere, who has been a revelation for the Gunners this season, believes that his side can now focus on the Premier League and FA cup after being knocked out of Champion’s League.
"We are still in two competitions, just three points behind Manchester United in the league and with a game in hand," the 19-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 midfielder said. "Maybe now that we are out of Europe, we can be stronger in the league, concentrate on that more, really push on to try to win the title.
"We know Manchester United are a great team, but they have a European game next week, so they might play a weakened side, then we can go there and take advantage of that."
Wilshere, 19, also added that the Gunners need to lift themselves from the defeat in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and concentrate on the FA Cup clash.
The Gunners were rocked by the latest injury to skipper Cesc Fabregas who will miss the clash against the Red Devils after picking a hamstring injury in the second half against Barcelona.
