Ian Wright outlines his key concerns for Arsenal ahead of Manchester United clash

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has expressed his concerns for Mikel Arteta's side heading into the Premier League clash with Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

The new Arsenal boss is still seeking his first victory at the club, following a draw with Bournemouth and a defeat to Chelsea at the weekend - which left the Gunners still stranded in the bottom half of the table.

While improvements were shown during those two matches, Arsenal face a challenging prospect against a rejuvenated United side - and Wright is concerned.

Speaking ahead of the match, he expressed his belief that the hosts will face a difficult match up against United's in-form attacking players.

"They’ve got a chance and what we saw the other day with Arsenal is that they getting used to the new system," he told Premier League Productions.

"Manchester United will be confident playing against Arsenal with the new system that Arsenal are trying to play because they’ll just keep going at them to see if they can keep it up.

"Then they’ve got to try and find a weakness which at the moment is whether Arsenal can keep up that intensity to close them down.

"Are they going to be able to keep people like [Marcus] Rashford, [Daniel] James and [Anthony] Martial in form off them?

"I’m not sure how that’s going to work out."
