Arsenal vs Manchester United: Premier League preview
Carrick’s time in charge began with a derby win over Manchester City and an emphatic one at that.
With Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro running the midfield, the Red Devils harnessed their strengths at Old Trafford last weekend.
Ruben Amorim’s dismissal was inevitable but he left behind an opportunity to achieve something, not a lost cause. United started the weekend in fifth place and unbeaten in five games.
The three draws that preceded the derby win were anything but impressive but Carrick has a decent position from which to build and an upturn in United’s form between now and May will deliver a Champions League place. The brief couldn’t be more straightforward.
Tickets
Arsenal vs Manchester United is one of the great Premier League fixtures. Two of the league’s ever-presents have produced some of the most entertaining title battles and one of the spiciest rivalries of the last 30 years.
The Gunners are 15 points ahead of United and have dominated their recent fixtures. Their last defeat against the Red Devils was in September 2022, seven games ago.
United’s most recent win at the Emirates Stadium in the league was in December 2017, when Jesse Lingard’s double helped Jose Mourinho’s side to a 3-1 win.
Arsenal needed a set piece to beat United on the opening weekend of this season. United showed some positive signs that day but it’s their opponents who’ve gone from strength to strength in pursuit of the title.
