Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta commented on the match ahead of the weekend clash against Manchester United. According to the Spanish manager, the Mancunians appear very dangerous in some situations - especially when the opportunity arises to switch to speed.
Arteta highlighted Manchester United's strengths. According to him, if some players have too much space left in the opponent's ranks, they will quickly "fly away" and can instantly change the fate of the game.
"They are very strong in many ways. Especially when it becomes possible to switch to speed, it becomes extremely dangerous when some players find the right conditions to run. You saw this a few days ago in the match in Manchester," said the Arsenal manager.
At the same time, Arteta recalled that there are weaknesses in any team. He emphasized that Manchester United's history is generally linked to counter-attacks and speed, noting that this club has always had players who fit this style.
"They have many aspects that can create problems for the opponent. At the same time, each team has its own weaknesses. "Manchester United's game has historically been associated with counter-attacks, and this team has always had players who know how to run very fast," he said.
Although Arteta didn't provide exact figures, he expressed his confidence in one thing: Manchester United is among the strongest in this regard. That is, the main task for the Londoners is not to leave a "corridor" for the opponent, to close dangerous gaps in the back line, and not to lose control of the game.
The match between Arsenal and Manchester United will take place on January 25th. And the fans are already in a "big poster" mood: because in this clash, there usually isn't a single moment of boredom left - especially when counterattacks are triggered.
