Mixed Feelings For United And Arsenal Following Frenetic Draw 

Share

 

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: “We scored four goals and drew 2-2! As always we made mistakes and we paid for the mistakes. “Today was more the same, but with great spirit and people ready to have a go and fight hard, it was a credit to the team. “They went to the limit and were really tired. Some of them had not played all season, Chris Smalling playing in very difficult condition, but Arsenal were only dangerous when we lost the ball in bad areas.

“Even from our bench you could feel the little panic when the ball comes to our defensive third. “The spirit was Manchester United level but we miss certain qualities. “I have to disagree with people who try to compare this to teams of Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nemanja Vidic. Give us a break and time. I am happy with the soul and heart, but we are not consistent and uniform.”

Arsenal manager Unai Emery: “I think we controlled the game, the second half better than the first. We could have won this match in certain moments, but they equalised very quickly after both our goals.

“We need to improve defensively, but we need to have balance and not lose our attacking chances.

“We perhaps lost a bit of control there but we created lots of chances after 2-2 and I am very proud of our performance. We wanted to win but we can feel this point is good.”
