Too early to write off Man United from title race

The most successful English side in the modern Premier League era have suffered a number of seasons of mediocrity since the retirement of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The Sun alleged Rooney “sank red wine” after “gatecrashing a wedding” at the Hertfordshire hotel where England stay for home global fixtures.

Marouane Fellaini is recovering from a calf injury, while Wayne Rooney missed England’s games in the global break following a setback on the injury.

The Italian has been lucky enough to feature in United’s last three games, due to injuries sustained by Antonio Valencia, Luke Shaw and Chris Smalling.

Wenger had warned that it could be a “suicidal decision” for Sanchez to feature for Chile over the global break because of an ongoing hamstring problem. Draw in the extreme tour with Tottenham 1: 1, was the third in this championship. United could have a few absentees on Saturday.

His side has a number of injury concerns going into the Old Trafford clash – with reports this week claiming that as many as seven players could be out – and another makeshift starting eleven could be on the cards. “I’ll consider the way he feels as well”. Alexis proved us all wrong when he managed to play right up until the final minutes of the latest Chile match, in which he also scored two goals.

Besides from that, the likes of Ozil, Koscielny and Giroud all return to Arsenal fully fit and are likely to play against United. We have played only 11 games so I believe that there is no position at the moment with the big clubs that is definite.

The German star has been arguably the best player for the Gunners this season, scoring goals at will and recording a lot of assists, being one of the main responsible of Arsenal’s outstanding form. “He will still be in the mindset of fighting to get back into the team and playing every game”.

United find themselves down in sixth place, having already lost three times this season.

Leicester can clinch qualification to the knockout round of the Champions League on Tuesday, but its players would be wise not to look that far ahead this weekend.
