Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal thrilled by goal against Manchester United

Nacho Monreal has admitted that he is "very happy" with his goal during Arsenal's win over Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The defender put the Gunners ahead at Old Trafford last night as they reached the last four of the competition with a 2-1 victory.

Arsenal's reward for beating United is a semi-final clash with Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium.

"I'm very happy to play and secondly because I could score and help the team win," Monreal told the club's official website. "I am a player who doesn't score too many goals so when I do I'm very happy.

"I didn't have time to think because David de Gea came out very quickly. I controlled it well and I saw the space and tried to put the ball there. I'm very happy because I finished the goal."

Arsenal continue their Premier League campaign on Saturday when they welcome West Ham United to the Emirates Stadium.
