What they’re saying ahead of Manchester United – Chelsea
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Donny van de Beek at Man United: “When players come into a new league, to a new team, it’s always going to be a time that he adapts. When he’s played he plays really well. It says a lot about our depth and quality in the squad, that we don’t have to use him every single game because we have other players as well. I also think it says everything about our ambitions, we want to challenge for trophies this season. I would be disappointed if some of my team-mates said I wasn’t important at United. I didn’t start many games.”
Mikel Arteta on Arsenal’s attacking struggles: “It’s very difficult to create chances against ten men behind the ball. In those spaces we saw what they did against Manchester City. I was expecting them to do it but we had open situations where we should have finished better. It comes down to two or three chances that you are going to have. When you have those moments you have to take them and not make mistakes at the back.”

Manchester United – Arsenal prediction
For some reason the Gunners always seems to show up against the big boys. They will do that once again and I just think the balance in this Man United team is off. Manchester United 1-2 Arsenal.
