Manchester United added another counter-attacking masterclass to the history books in their encounters against Arsenal in Friday’s FA Cup fourth-round win, says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils were electric on the break at Emirates Stadium and ran out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from ex-Gunner Alexis Sanchez, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial.<\/p>\n

Solskjaer believes it was no coincidence such a tactic proved fruitful, pointing to past examples \u2013 including the 2009 Champions League semi-final \u2013 as proof for his point.<\/p>\n

“If you go through the history and the games we’ve played against Arsenal that’s how it is,” he told MUTV.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I remember a goal I scored in 1997 after we defended a corner – it went from Giggsy [Ryan Giggs] to Karel [Poborsky] to Andy [Cole] and into me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Everyone knows about the classic Champions League goal [in 2009] with Ji [Park Ji-sung], Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Wayne [Rooney] running forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Wazza has scored a couple more like that, as has Ji, so the counter-attacking threat that we have is in our history against Arsenal.”<\/p>\n

One tactical surprise was the deployment of Romelu Lukaku on the right of a front three with Lingard playing more centrally.<\/p>\n

But Lukaku vindicated the decision by assisting the first two goals and Solskjaer says it is a tactic he is happy to employ.<\/p>\n

“Rom has played there for Belgium and Everton,” he added at a post-match news conference.<\/p>\n

“It’s a tactic we can use and we know how strong he is. He held the ball up and ran the channel. It was a fantastic pass for Alexis’ goal. It was a great finish.”<\/p>\n

Solskjaer also reserved special praise for Lingard, who has at times split opinion among pundits.<\/p>\n

“Jesse’s a big game-player,” Solskjaer said. “He’s shown that for England, for us. He always pops up with goals.<\/p>\n

“Jesse is someone we never, never hesitate to put in a Man United team and he’s been brought through this system, he knows what this means, he knows the club, he knows this history, he knows all the counter-attacking goals we’ve scored against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

“He knows everything about the club and he’s someone we’ll look after.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
