Jurrien Timber reveals Arsenal trophy aim in just two words as Manchester United challenge clear

Jurrien Timber has insisted Arsenal want to "win everything" this season ahead of the crunch FA Cup clash against Manchester United this weekend.

The Gunners welcome Ruben Amorim's side to Emirates Stadium on Sunday hoping to book a place in the fourth round of the competition. They go into the clash on the back of a disappointing defeat against Newcastle, though.

Arsenal fell to a 2-0 home loss to Newcastle in the opening leg of their semi-final on Tuesday, with the loss coming just days after a 1-1 draw with Brighton in the Premier League. The result against the Seagulls means Liverpool are six points clear having played a game less.

Asked if the FA Cup clash will carry greater importance in the wake of their defeat to Newcastle, Timber said: “It was already a big game because United always is. We want to win and give the fans something to celebrate so we are going to give our all on Sunday. I am really looking forward to that game and to bounce back. It is another cup game so we have to win.

“Every competition is really important. We want to win everything. It is not easy, and it is not always going to happen, but that is why it is important that we bounce back. The focus is on the FA Cup and then, after that, the Premier League.”

Arsenal secured a 2-0 league victory over Man Utd last month but Amorim’s side will arrive in north London brimming with confidence after their 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield. But Timber added: “We played them already a month ago so we know what we are getting. They have a good squad with a lot of good players. It is not going to be easy but we will be ready.”
