Manchester United vs Arsenal preview

Manchester United will be defending their unbeaten record against the league leaders, in a match that could see United move to the top of the table with a game in hand.

The Gunners have a number of weapons in their Arsenal, but none more dangerous than Samir Nasri at the moment. Nasri has led Arsenal to the top of the table, scoring key goals and giving the Gunners some hope “after Cesc” if the Spaniard does decide to head back to his youth club.

Arsenal’s biggest weakness is their defense, their goal keepers are awful and United will need to test the keepers every chance they get.

United have gone unbeaten for a reason. Their defense has been key to their success, and with Rooney and Berbatov working well together, it’s only a matter of time before Manchester United find the back of the net.

Arsenal down United

A disappointing loss for the defending Premier League Champions on Saturday, as Arsenal exploded back into the title race with a convincing win over United

21-year-old Frenchman, Samir Nasri, struck once in each half against Manchester United, in what is always one of the worlds most anticipated football matches. Nasri broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute when Evra fouled Sagna on the right side of the penalty area. It was Berbatov who cleared Fabregas’s center, unfortunately it landed on the feet of Nasri who took a left-footed shot which deflected off the right foot of Gary Neville and into the back of United’s net.

3 minutes after the break Fabregas played a brilliant ball to an unmarked Nasri at the top of the eighteen. Nasri owes his goal Theo Walcott who made a brilliant run across the middle to pull Vidic from the center long enough for Nasri to pull the trigger. A lack of communication between Ferdinand and Vidic cost United the second goal .

United would get one back, though it was too little to late when 18-year-old Rafael fired a brilliant long range shot into the bottom left corner. It was pure class and I believe it gives United hope in the years to come. How exciting to have such an attack minded right back! A great example of modern football!

Come on Sir Alex, Its Time To Buy.

Arsenal continue to pursue top level young talent. Just a couple weeks ago, French Ligue Young Player of the Year Ben Arfa revealed Arsenal had been in contact with him, to discuss a possible move to The Emirates Stadium. The-21 year-old is one of France’s most promising strikers. He wont stay with Lyon too much longer, because he doesn’t get the playing time he deserves.

Most recently Arsene Wenger revealed that the signing of Marseille’s highly-rated 20 year-old Samir Nasri is likely to happen. “And if it does happen, it will be before the start of the European Championship.” Wenger told Telefoot. The young attacking midfielder has already been compared to Zidane.

Also, Carlos Vela has just received clearance to begin his long-awaited career for the Gunners. The teenage Mexican international signed a five-year deal with the Gunners back in November 2005, but was not given clearance by FIFA legislation.

Arsenal are not wasting anytime in swooping up some of the worlds best young talent.

Come on Sir Alex, just give Ronaldo the amount of money he wants [cause you have it, and he deserves it] and move on. Enough talk, its time to act. You have your eyes on some of Europes most sought after players, they wont be available forever.
