Unai Emery feels Manchester United have become more lethal and dangerous since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge of the side.
Arsenal are scheduled to host Manchester United in a FA Cup fourth round clash on Friday. The Red Devils are on a roll currently winning their last seven matches in all competition while The Gunners will be banking on their recent form following their rigid performance against Chelsea.
Emery’s side shrugged off the challenge of their London rivals to open the top four race as both Arsenal and United are just three points adrift of fourth placed Chelsea. A victory against the Red Devils would only strengthen the manager’s position who has had a rough ride in the last few matches.
Emery insists they have to be very cautious as United have undergone a lot of changes since the departure of Jose Mourinho. “It’s a different team.
“It’s the same players but they’re playing with a big performance now. I was watching their last matches and each player has a lot of confidence, with big performances, and now they are very dangerous.
“For us, it’s good because it’s a very big test for us in this competition. Manchester United and us have played 20 finals in the FA Cup, and we’ve won 13 and they’ve won 12. For this competition, it’s the best match to play.
“We are looking forward to playing this match on Friday because it’s at our stadium, the Emirates, in front of our supporters. We feel very well in front of them and we want to create a new atmosphere over 90 minutes on Friday, together with our supporters.”
