Wenger: United win would boost us

ARSENE WENGER accepts his battle-weary Arsenal squad could do with the psychological boost of FA Cup victory at Barclays Premier League title rivals Manchester United tomorrow.

Wenger conceded yesterday his side — who will be without injured skipper Cesc Fabregas after he suffered a recurrence of a hamstring problem on his return to the Nou Camp — could do with something positive to reflect on.

“We need it, I must say, because we need help. We have been touched severely recently and we are of course chasing after a win of that type,” said the Arsenal boss.
