Love ’em or loathe ’em, there’s one thing for sure, United have no chance of winning a major trophy (so that doesn’t include the FA Cup) if Mata, Blind and Carrick are regulars.
But back to the thread. Normally I’d expect Arsenal to win, they’re better than us, and this season the surprise element, Rashford, will no longer be a surprise. But Arsenal, for all their quality, are always gutless, so if we keep it tight, make it physical, and play something like a 4-5-1, we’ve a chance. If we open it up and try and attack them they’ll probably carve us to pieces. I guess the smart money would be on 1-1.
