Keown predicts draw from United v Arsenal

Another player available after facing criticism, this time from Mourinho himself, is Luke Shaw, with the left-back missing Manchester United’s last Premier League game against Swansea as well as the global week.

“I actually enjoy it because I think it’s good for football”.

The Arsenal manager could be excused if he wanted to turn Jose Mourinho’s famous barb on its head after the most traumatic 18 months in the managerial career of the Portuguese. United were dominant but Arsenal had a period when they won titles, where they were unbeatable and so on.

“Sometimes players come back stronger than when they left because something positive happened”, he said.

“I wouldn’t be happy with a draw”.

“Your friend lent you a pencil, you have to take care of the pencil better than if it is your pencil, so I think when one day if I become a national team manager I will try (to)”.

“Mesut Ozil is absolutely wonderful and now we’re seeing that he is really adapting to the Premier League”.

“But we have as well players out and let’s not forget, a year ago the guy who killed us was Rashford”.

Pogba has showed shades of his brilliance but so far he has failed to live up to the magnitude of his price tag. When he has been good he has been incredible.

‘I make mistakes in my life and I regret every one.

The tough-talking, abrasive style of Sir Alex Ferguson, the cold, calm and calculated approach of Pep Guardiola and the respectful, dignified manner that Arsenal’s own Arsene Wenger have all brought great success to their clubs.

But the 31-year-old is nonetheless expected to start on the bench against Arsenal, having been forced to withdraw from global duty with a minor knee injury.

Wenger has never defeated a Jose Mourinho-tutored side in the English Premier League but the Manchester United coach feels he should personally get the accolades.

Wenger has been playing Alexis Sanchez as his main striker for much of the campaign to date and it has paid dividends as the former Barcelona man has already scored eight goals. Bellerin has pace in abundance and his performances for Arsenal over the last few seasons have linked him with a big money movie to La Liga giants Barcelona. This time past year, Sanchez picked up a hamstring injury following a grueling run of back-to-back games for club and country and ended up missing the next two months, which proved to be a huge blow to Arsenal’s title hopes.

“Since school, you know”. I think it will help them that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is suspended.

Last seen making N’Golo Kante look like Diego Maradona at his brilliant best, it was also reported that Mourinho wasn’t too pleased with the England defender’s reaction to an injury. “The safe bet would be a 1-1 draw, but Arsenal are the more likely winners”.

Bellerin has been ruled out for four weeks with an ankle injury picked up in the North London derby before the worldwide break. He creates width and without him there there’s a lot of our play that we will need to change and adapt.
