Arsenal's first win at Old Trafford since 2006

United have made the most passes to their goalkeeper in the PremierLeague this season.

Striker Wayne Rooney has found the net in each of his last three FA Cup games against Arsenal.

Danny Welbeck, the hero of the night, punished United, the club where he scored 29 goals in 142 appearances before switching to Arsenal after Van Gaal brought in Radamel Falcao on loan from Monaco.

Arsenal and England striker Welbeck joined Arsenal from Manchester United in a £16m deal on deadline day in September.

United forward, Rademel Falcao wasn't even called from the bench as The Red Devils bow to Arsenal.

Nacho Monreal's first half goal was cancelled out by Wayne Rooney after a beautiful cross from  Di Maria.
