Arsenal vs Man Utd LIVE: FA Cup latest news and reaction as United win 3-1

Arsenal 1-3 Man Utd LIVE
FA Cup fourth round
Venue: Emirates Stadium

Manchester United continued their 100 per cent record under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as another ruthless display saw them knock Arsenal out of the FA Cup at the Emirates where Alexis Sanchez and injuries haunted the Gunners.

The former Arsenal man, making his first start under his new Norwegian manager, scored his first goal back here since leaving the club last January before Jesse Lingard doubled shortly after.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set up a tense second half before Anthony Martial rounded things off from the bench on a night where Arsenal lost both their central defenders to injury.

You can follow the reaction with James Olley, James Robson, Jack Rosser and Vaishali Bhardwaj at the Emirates tonight.

Score prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester United

Saturday's win over Chelsea helped lift some of the gloom that has recently fallen around the Emirates but the momentum behind Solskjaer and his side should be a concern.

As he showed against Tottenham, the United boss will give his attackers licence to attack on the road.

Given Arsenal's problems at the back and the red-hot form of Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba, United will fancy their chances of easing into the fifth round on a ground where they have had plenty of joy recently.
