A look ahead to another away trip United probably feels like underdogs going into.

00:00 Arsenal up next in the Premier League for Manchester United. Now, looking at the results
00:05 so far, they probably shouldn't have beaten Wolves and they did. They probably shouldn't
00:09 have beaten Forest really from being 2-0 down and they did and they lost to Spurs. So maybe
00:14 if you're looking deeply into it, it's not been the ideal start. But one thing we touched
00:18 on last season was the consistency in Tenerife's side and that's already as well. Arsenal away
00:24 is a huge test for any side but if they are to go and get a result there, things could
00:29 start to suddenly look positive. However, on the flip side, if they get thoroughly beaten,
00:35 it could be quite worrying for Ten Hag. What's your thoughts going into this one?
00:38 Yeah, I mean, obviously, it's going to be a really difficult game. They are the side
00:43 who finished second in the league last season. I've had a good start this campaign. Probably
00:49 will be disappointed to drop points against Fulham but seven points from Europe in a nine
00:53 is certainly a pretty respectable start. United, you're right, they've had three really disappointing
01:01 performances but then are sitting at six points. So I think if this was Manchester City, we'd
01:07 be sitting saying that they always find a way to win when it's United. People can be
01:12 a bit critical at times but look, I do think it's justified. I mean, the start of the season
01:16 has obviously been hugely impacted by injuries as well and in the last week, they picked
01:20 up three fresh ones with Verrallen, Shaw and Mount. That really is going to impact them
01:25 going forward, I think over the next, well, certainly three or four weeks but probably
01:29 longer term if I'm honest. It will impact them on Saturday or Sunday against Arsenal
01:36 as well. I think it's going to be a difficult game. I fully expect Arsenal are going to
01:41 win. If I'm honest, I just think Arsenal are just in a better place at the moment. United,
01:46 there is a bit of, just a bit of, there's quite a lot of negativity around at the moment.
01:51 It's amazing how quickly Manchester United becomes a circus and chaos really, so quickly.
02:00 It doesn't feel like a particularly happy, healthy place at the moment. As I touched
02:03 on earlier in the transfer bit, but I think that, I mean, whoever plays left back, be
02:10 it Diogo Dalo or if there's a new player who comes in to try and mark Saka, that's going
02:15 to be very difficult and kind of a big game I suppose for them. I think it may feel that
02:24 they will struggle with Arsenal's power, with their fluidity, with their ability to
02:30 keep the ball. I think that's going to be difficult. I think the plus point will be
02:35 if they can start Anthony Martial and keep Marcus Rashford out left, I think he's just
02:39 a much better there at the weekend. It'll be interesting to see if Rasmus Hoyland is
02:43 involved in any form for United as well. Could be back in time to make his debut for the
02:47 club. Obviously signed in the summer but hasn't been able to play yet as he arrived with a
02:52 slight injury. So yeah, we'll see in that one but I'll be at the Emirates on Sunday
02:56 looking forward to it. But as I say, I'm predicting an Arsenal win if I'm honest.
