Paul Scholes comments on Manchester United v Arsenal
The Egypt worldwide didn’t feature in the Champions League on Tuesday night as Arsenal suffered a 2-0 loss to Barcelona at the Emirates Stadium.
Coquelin is remaining wary of the threat United will pose on home turf on Sunday, but the Arsenal midfielder still believes the Gunners can heap more misery on the Red Devils with an away win – which would be their first in the league since 2006.
“I really want to start seeing Elneny more now”, Wright told BT Sport.
“We focus on the Premier League”.
Wenger said: “If you look at all the titles that Manchester United have won, to beat them at Old Trafford it needs to always be special”.
After a victory against Leicester, Arsenal is now only two points behind them and it is time for them to show they are meant for bigger things than fourth place in Premier League and round of 16 in the Champions League.
Get 22/1 enhanced odds on Leicester, Real Madrid and Chelsea to win on Saturday. “I believe for every club it remains a special fixture but for me favourites has no special meaning, it’s opinions”. The overall quality of the premier league has dropped to a level where we can win it, while we couldn’t elevate ourselves to it with our manager and boards limited capabilities.
“We are in a good position and we don’t want to give that position up”.
What made Thursday’s 5-1 defeat of Midtjylland, which secured a 6-3 aggregate last-32 success, all the sweeter for United supporters was that 18-year-old striker Marcus Rashford, a product of the club’s academy, scored twice on a senior debut that only came about after Anthony Martial was injured in the warm-up. Results are down to performance and reality.
“On that front, I agree that it is the most interesting period of the season”.
Ten years have passed since we’ve last won at Old Trafford in the league.
“I haven’t picked my team yet for Sunday and I can not say that now”. It’s time for us to get stuck in and show everyone we are the league’s best side. Had we scored first I think it was a good opportunity for us. But despite that, on Sunday we’ll be facing a team with an identity crisis of it’s own – Manchester United.
