Speaking to The Overlap, the former defender backed the Red Devils to hold the north Londoners and all but hand their rivals, City, the Premier League title.

“This is the big one. Arsenal have a poor record here. There’s three things that stand out to me. Firstly, this is massive for Arsenal. Secondly, United’s record against the big teams isn’t that bad at home. A lot of the top teams haven’t beat United at home," he noted.
