Arsenal transfer news
With both sides spending big on some of the world’s biggest names in recent transfer windows, there are some who clearly haven’t delivered and who could right some wrongs if they guide their team into the semi-finals this evening…
1) Angel Di Maria (Manchester United)
A £60m signing who really needs to start justifying his price tag, Angel Di Maria has been poor for most of this season and must be hoping United can be dominant as usual against Arsenal.
2) Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)
Another former Real Madrid star struggling with a hefty price tag since moving to the Premier League with Arsenal, Mesut Ozil is yet to truly influence a big game for the Gunners, and could become a hero if he does so tonight with a semi-final place at stake.
3) Radamel Falcao (Manchester United)
A striker who can’t buy a goal right now, Radamel Falcao is fighting for a permanent move to Old Trafford after his loan spell from AS Monaco, and a couple of strikes in this big game could do him a big favour in that aspect.
4) Olivier Giroud (Arsenal)
Another striker with a point to prove, Arsenal star Olivier Giroud’s finishing against AS Monaco may have put the Gunners out of the Champions League for the season, leaving the FA Cup with the only silverware the club can fight for. He netted against United in the game in November, can he supply a more game-changing strike this evening?
5) Wojciech Szczesny (Arsenal)
Dropped in the Premier League in favour of David Ospina for the moment, a game in the FA Cup tonight represents a big opportunity for goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who may not get back into the team for a long time if he puts in another poor display at Old Trafford.
