Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has welcomed their FA Cup draw with Arsenal.

United will host the Gunners at Old Trafford.

"I think that is the most important thing, we have a draw at home," Van Gaal said after his side fought back to defeat Preston North End at Deepdale.

"I am very happy we can play now against Arsenal and for the first time [in the competition] we play at home. That is important in FA Cup matches."
