Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has disclosed that playing against Manchester United in the Premier League always creates a tense moment.
A whopping 15 points separate the two behemoths in the Premier League table, but with Michael Carrick at the helm, the good times have already returned for the Red Devils.
While Arsenal failed to make the most of Man City’s failings, Man Utd did their bit to help out their capital counterparts, defying the form book and their off-field chaos to stun their bitter adversaries in an Old Trafford masterclass.
However, in a chat with the club’s website, Odegaard stated that winning at Old Trafford in the opening game of the season gives them an edge going into the game.

“It’s always great to be back home, and we come back to the Emirates for a big one today. Like a lot of you, I grew up watching Arsenal v Man United matches, it’s always a big game in English football. We have got a good record against them lately, and that can definitely help when you go into the matches.
“You have a good feeling that you have beaten them before, so it gives you confidence that you can do it again. We’ve had some good experiences against them and it’s always nice to take that into the games.
“They are always really intense games, always a big battle, and a game we all love to play in. I know all the supporters look forward to it as well, the atmosphere will be top, I’m sure.
“Every game we play is another opportunity, another chance to make a statement. We want to make sure we do that. We know what the game means to the supporters with all the history behind it, and to ourselves as well. It’s a big one, another big test, we’re really excited for it.”
