Charlie Nicholas predicts Manchester United vs Arsenal

Former Arsenal player Charlie Nicholas has expressed support for Arsenal against Manchester United and predicted a big 5 goal win over Manchester United.

‘I cannot give up on them, but Arsenal can’t buy a win at the moment, although it does seem more promising,’ he told Sky Sports.

“There is more fight in there, no confidence, but there is a shape and a tendency to go and try to squeeze the ball.”

‘Mesut Ozil is playing better, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is still scoring goals and Bukayo Saka has been class at left-back despite being an attacker.

‘You cannot plan for the Bernd Leno howler, but the defence was better but still vulnerable, as were the midfield protectors.

‘Man Utd are getting good results, while the counter-attack is so dangerous at the Emirates. I am going to stick with Arsenal, as they can get at the full-backs and defence. ‘It seems more pleasant to watch but the table looks awful for Arsenal. They need a win and it is not about closing the gap to the top four as that is fantasy for them this year.

‘Mikel Arteta started with a draw and a harsh defeat so it is time for them to get a win. Man Utd will be very dangerous on the counter-attack, but Reiss Nelson has been decent, and Arteta could give Nicolas Pepe a start.

‘He may just be ready to come and do something. Arsenal 3-2 Manchester United.’
