Van Gaal urges Man Utd to recover from FA Cup exit

Louis van Gaal has implored his Manchester United side to quickly recoil from Monday night's FA Cup elimination.

The Red Devils exited at the hands of Arsenal by losing 2-1 in the quarter-final at Old Trafford but van Gaal hopes it only gives them the motivation to focus on the remaining 10 Premier League fixtures.

"We have to recover, but I cannot say that the motivation of my team was bad," said van Gaal.

"No, it is always good (for motivation). We have showed today a fantastic fighting spirit."

Fourth-placed United next take on sixth-placed Tottenham in a vital league clash at Old Trafford this coming weekend.
