In what was one of the most amazing Champions League nights at Old Trafford in the recent past, Manchester United thrashed RB Leipzig 5-0. The United fanbase and Solskjaer and his team were extremely happy with the victory, but next up, the Red Devils face Arsenal. It will not just be a battle amongst the players of both sides, but also a tactical battle between Arteta and Solskjaer.
Manchester United are happy and confident on the back of their win against RB Leipzig a couple of days ago. On the other hand, Arsenal have also been in good form but will be wary of the threat Manchester United possess. Arsenal have been good against United in the recent past as it will be expected to be a crunch game.
Lately, Arsenal have played a defensive system and have failed to take their chances against a good side. And this is the type of system Manchester United have failed against this season and Arteta might be looking to capitalize on it. But the Red Devils are unpredictable in such a game, as they can demolish the opposition, or implode themselves.
