Arsenal winger Theo Walcott wants revenge against Manchester United in the Champions League.

The Gunners were soundly beaten 4-1 on aggregate by Sir Alex Ferguson's side in last season's semi-finals and were dismantled at Emirates Stadium in the second leg.

Walcott has bad memories of the tie and is eager to set the record straight as Arsenal and United prepare for this campaign's quarter-final draw after handsome wins over Porto and AC Milan, respectively.

"We've had disappointments in this competition over the last couple of years, Manchester United in the semis last year," Walcott said in the Sunday Mirror.

"We need to build on results. Hopefully, if it comes to it we'll learn from our mistakes and try to go one step further.

"We were very disappointed in the games we played [against United]. We want to do something for the fans."

He added: "If we get an English team, it will be like a Premier League battle. We want to go that one step further."
