Patrice Evra talks up Premier League leaders Arsenal ahead of Manchester United clash
Speaking to Betfair (h/t Metro) ahead of the clash between Arsenal and Manchester United, former Manchester United player Patrice Evra praised Mikel Arteta’s team who have been unbeaten in the Premier League with five wins out of five.
“Arsenal are in great form, they are winning ugly games and that’s what is scaring me. Against Fulham, it wasn’t a good game but they won.”
Patrice Evra is considered a United legend among many having made 379 appearances for the club and won five Premier League titles with one UEFA Champions League with Manchester United.
However, the former defender was quick to point out that United had to play with the same grit and determination as they did against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool against in-form Arsenal.
Patrice Evra spoke highly of the Arsenal new man Gabriel Jesus who has scored three goals and notched up two assists in the first five games. He believes the Brazilian to be a player to watch in the game between Arsenal and Manchester United.
This is really dangerous. When a player plays with that kind of positivity, smile and happiness, he can hurt you.”
Manchester United have seen good form after winning three games in a row and would be approaching the game with full confidence and it could be argued that they stand an equal chance of winning the game.
With new signings, Casemiro nicely settled in alongside Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen, Manchester United have looked a lot better recently and would be looking for a fourth straight win.
