“Referees have to be given direction about what are the laws of the game and what should be permitted in terms of tackles.
“(Referees’ chief) Mike Riley has to be given the rope to say this is not allowed, two-footed tackles are not acceptable, whether you take the ball or not.
“If he does that it would clarify the situation for all players, the referees and the fans.”
Danny Welbeck was injured in the match. Sir Alex said it was a twisted knee but he’ll be ready for my guys from Arsenal.

Teams are going to drop points against these teams, they are all working hard and fighting for survival. If you look at the results over the holiday period it shows how difficult it is. We all get disappointed when we don’t win. But they are not just going to roll over. A point’s a point. We’re still on a great run. One wouldn’t quite drop for us and they defended for their lives, worked hard and pressed us, closed us down and made it difficult.”

Thierry Henry said this about his goal in the FA Cup win over Leeds- “I guess it was always going to be surreal,” Henry told Arsenal Player. “It was one of the best moments because it is the first time that I wore the Arsenal shirt being a fan.
“I became a fan when I left the club so now I know exactly how it feels to score for the club that you support. So, great emotions. As I said earlier on to some of the guys in the dressing room, two weeks ago I was on holiday in Mexico on the beach and here I am scoring the winner against Leeds.
“Obviously I am going to grab some headlines and stuff like that but Nico Yennaris and Ignasi Miquel at the back, along with some of the other guys, played really well. I was at the end of a great move but as I said many times, it is all about the team. We went through and that is the most important thing.”
