Arsenal lost a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford last season, with United winning 3-2 largely thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo brace. But Mikel Arteta’s side have come a long way since that game last December and defeated United in April.
The North Londoners are the only Premier League team to maintain a 100 per cent winning start this season. They face a Red Devils team finally finding their feet under Ten Hag.
And Saka thinks his colleagues will win the biggest game of their season so far if they balance passion with a successful tactical plan. “Beating United would be a very big thing, because they are a quality team and in good form right now,” the 20-year-old said.
“If we can go there and win it will give us a lot of confidence going forward. It’s a special rivalry. I’ve seen the games from before, with the big tackles and the fighting. In games like this it has to be a balance between tactics and passion.
“Passion is really important. You can’t let the other team have more than you because then things get difficult.
“We’re in a good place right now. The next step for us it to try to bring some trophies, win more big games and play at the highest level.”
