Arsenal defeated Manchester United 3-2 in a difficult match Sunday, putting on one of their greatest performances of the season.
United appeared to be giving archrivals City some hope by taking the lead and then looking like taking a point at The Emirates. However, a late winner from Eddie Nketiah ensured the Gunners earned another three points.
United contributed to what was a fantastic game at The Emirates. And, speaking about the game on CBS Sports, Arsenal star Thierry Henry acknowledged he was taken aback by what he witnessed from Manchester United.
“I am happy that Arsenal won and they deserved to win after their performance in the second half but boy Man United look completely different under ten Hag. I will be honest, I am a big fan of ten Hag and I like him very much. He is the coach I recommended to Laporta after Koeman got sacked at Barca.”
“He is a genius. Today we saw a team with three years of development against a team with six months of development, also a team with one week of rest against a team with two days of rest yet still Man United went toe-to-toe which for me was surprising.”
“I thought Arsenal will be all over United from the kick off and United players will sit back but I was wrong, United in fact had better control of the ball in the first half. You give one more year to ten Hag and back him in market, United will be a force to reckon with.”
“No disrespect to Sir Alex but if ten Hag gets it right at United, they will play more attractive football than they played under Sir Alex Ferguson.”
