Erik ten Hag, coach of Manchester United, announced himself before the Premier League derby against Arsenal and on that occasion gave a very interesting comment.
The football world fondly remembers the rivalry between these two giants under the thumbs of Ferguson and Wenger, and it seems that this year we have the closest situation to that time.
Both teams play excellent football and are currently at the very top of the table.
United comes to this match ready after a victory against Manchester City, they are on a fine winning streak.
The problem for United could be the absence of Casemiro due to yellow cards, but the Dutchman does not think so.
“Last time we beat Arsenal without Casemiro,” Ten Hag said.
“This time we will have to do it again,” he added.
United have Fred and McTominay as substitutes, but the question is how they will fare against an Arsenal midfield led by the brilliant Odegaard, flanked by Patrie and Xhaka.
