Despite the defeat, Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal are a better team than Manchester United and believes they will finish ahead of the Red Devils.
Speaking after the game he said:
I think Arsenal will finish above Man United. Arsenal are a better team than Manchester United right now. Arteta’s three years in, Ten Hag is just starting and he’s gone a little bit more pragmatic because he can’t play the way an Arsenal team is now.
I think in two or three years time, the way Arsenal performed on Sunday that’s the way United will play, playing from the back all the time, playing through the lines. I admire what Ten Hag has done. So right now, I think Arsenal have the edge but squad-wise, that’ll be Arsenal’s big problem – if they get injuries to certain players.
