Pundit Predictions Arsenal vs Manchester United 4th December 2024

Come on, why not be insanely optimistic? We’ve had some pain at Emirates recently, but only after moments of joy. Perhaps this time we will properly enjoy silly scenes of euphoria as Garnacho gives us a famous victory. I can see our electric Argentines making an impact from the bench in this game. Amad has been in such great form that he should start and his ability to keep the ball could help us if Arsenal build pressure. Naturally, as the in-form home side, they will, so that outlet will be valuable, and should United win, Amad will certainly have a big impact. But as a fearless and relentless, you turn to late to take the game to the opposition, Garnacho is your man. So I’m going for a memorable 3-2 United win, with Garnacho winning just like he thought he had last season, only for VAR to rule it out. Sometimes football is magic… maybe tonight will be one of those times.

MARK FROGGATT PREDICTS… AMAD TO SHINE

Like many United fans, I have loved Amad’s performances in recent weeks and especially his willingness to fight for the team by playing in a new position. But it is his tenacious, infectious pressing that has really caught the eye and directly led to goals against PAOK and Everton. With five goal involvements from his last five appearances – two goals, three assists – Amad is undoubtedly the first name on our squad list right now and I predict a big night for him at the Emirates Stadium, where lung-busting runs have led to some classic United goals over the years. I also feel good about the game. My score prediction is Arsenal 0 United 1, with our in-form Ivorian as Man of the Match.
