‘A weak team Man United would probably beat Arsenal’ says Roy Keane

Manchester United take on their rivals Arsenal today as they look to secure a top-four place.

However, several reports this week have suggested that Jose Mourinho may opt to field a weakened side against the Gunners.

United defeated Celta Vigo on Thursday night and take on the La Liga side again next week at Old Trafford.

The Europa League may serve as United’s best route into the UEFA Champions League next season.

Man United legend Roy Keane believes United can win even if they field a weakened side.

“It is clear that Mourinho’s priority is trying to win the Europa League and guarantee Champions League football,” Roy Keane told ITV.

“I think he is right, prioritise winning a trophy, definitely.”

“Even a weak team would probably still beat Arsenal, they can afford to do that.”

Man United are currently five points ahead of the Gunners. However, Arsenal do have a game in hand.

The Red Devils will be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcus Rojo and Ashley Young due to injury. Marouane Fellaini has also been ruled out due to suspension.

United were held to a 1-1 draw by Swansea City last weekend.
