The Manchester United midfielder is looking forward to a special F.A cup away tie with Derby County.
The match could serve as a redemption game for United, after the team's lackluster loss to Southampton over the weekend, that further increased sack tension on Van Gaal.
United currently lie fifth on the table, five points behind fourth place Tottenham.
The F.A Cup remains United's only viable avenue for winning a silverware, and the Spanish midfielder eagerly anticipating the tie. Speaking to MUTV, he said:
“FA Cup away games are always special, I don’t know why but they are. It’s a competition our fans love and we love it also.
“We play Derby who are near the top of the Championship and that means they will be very tough at home. I have watched some Championship games and they are very tough games. They are a good, strong team and it’s a big day for them playing Man United.
“I have very good memories of last season and the away games we played in the Cup. Our fans were fantastic in the away games and I could score in two games, so I’m looking forward to this next game.”
United waited for a late Wayne Rooney penalty to knock out Sheffield United in the third round and will be hoping for a easier passage into the next round.
