Wenger: Almunia will learn

Manager Arsène Wenger has said that goalkeeper Manuel Almunia made a mistake for Manchester United's second goal by trying to come out and collect the ball.

The Spaniard was trying to prevent the cross which eventually led to Cristiano Ronaldo's goal which gave United the lead deep into the second half.

Wenger said: "He rushed out to block the cross and he was unhappy with his decision making.

"Would he have caught the ball? Could he have stayed inside?

"He left his goal and didn't get the ball so he'll feel as if he made a mistake. I'll have to watch it again."

I agree with what he said. I was watching on Setanta channel and when I saw him come into the picture, I knew it was a goal. I said to myself and my wife that he should have stayed in the box.
