Manchester United: Three Arsenal players to look out for ahead of Sunday’s game

On Gameweek 36, Manchester United go head-to-head with Arsenal, who are currently focusing on the Europa League, which is the only way that the North London club can qualify for the Champions League.

On top of that, this is potentially the final battle between Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, with the former recently revealing that he will be leaving Arsenal football club after managing them for 22 years.

Here are the three Arsenal players to look out for ahead of the clash on Sunday evening…

Hector Bellerin

Having only missed two league games so far this season, Hector Bellerin has remained as Arsenal’s first choice in the right-back position for another campaign. With his unbelievable burst of pace and composure in one v one situations, the Spanish international has evolved himself into becoming one of the most complete full-backs in the league as well as in Europe.

The former Barcelona youth academy player may not have the ability to read the game or the technique to comfortably play with both feet, however, his energetic runs up and down the flank has allowed Arsenal to have a defender that can complete last ditch tackles and interceptions. Also, his late runs into the final third of the pitch have helped the side to have more passing options in the dangerous areas.

Aaron Ramsey

Notching seven goals and seven assists in 21 league appearances, Aaron Ramsey continues to establish himself as an important individual within Arsenal’s line-up as well as one of the best box-to-box midfielders within the league. The Welshman has proven a lot of his critics wrong this time around, including the English pundits, who have constantly attacked him for his poor displays in recent years.

With how the 27-year-old has gone on with his work, it’s unbelievable that Arsenal brought him for only £5million from Cardiff City in the summer of 2008. Ramsey has the perfect combination of immense work rate and pure intelligence on both sides of the pitch as well as acting as second playmaker for the team when the main creators in Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil are totally nullified by the opposition.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Compared to the other teams in the top half of the Premier league table, Arsenal’s record in terms of scoring goals, especially in the games away from home have been more than unconvincing. On the other hand, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s arrival to the Emirates Stadium has proven to be more than vital as his ability to latch on to loose balls and stretch the opposition’s defence has been simply effective.

So far this season, since completing his move from Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal in January, the Gabonese international has gone on to bag six goals and three assists in nine league appearances. Despite being regarded as an attacker who does not have the skill to be utilised as a lone forward, Aubameyang has the class and quality to hurt a team with his pace and dribbling ability.
