«Arsenal» — «Manchester United» prediction by Oma Akatugba

It is only 180 minutes or more into Mikel Arteta’s professional managerial career, but there are already clear signs of a good direction, style and approach.

While he hasn’t gotten a win in two attempts, with the loss to Chelsea particularly biting, due to its nature, he has made an instant impact at Arsenal with players commending his approach and detailed openness to details. However, he has a rejuvenated Red Devils to face, and prove a point against, with a defense that is still very suspect.

Manchester United’s counterattacking football has been mind blowing this season. It has seen them tear Chelsea apart, defeat Tottenham, Manchester City, Leicester and went to toe-to-toe against Liverpool, who are the best side in Europe at the moment.

The trio of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Daniel James have formed what has become a deadly and feared attacking trio, especially on the counter and Arteta’s Arsenal must be prepared for this.

He has spoken about the dangers posed by the United attack and it is another big day for his Arsenal’s ever shaky defense.

Oppositely, the Gunners have star striker and skipper, Pierre Aubameyang to bring on the goods again, and with Mesut Ozil getting into his element, once again and the entire Arsenal team looking like a well prepared one, it will be another explosive encounter that may see the spoils getting shared or a Manchester United victory. On the affirmative however;

*Arsenal 2 vs Manchester United 2*
