JAKARTA - Arsenal will have a match in week 14 of the 2021 Premier League by visiting Old Trafford Stadium, the headquarters of Manchester United. Ahead of the match, Mikel Arteta blindly admitted the strength of his potential opponent.

Arteta acknowledged this because the Red Devils had just signed a new coach, Ralf Ragnick to replace Ole Gunnar Solkskjaer who was sacked last week. With the presence of a new coach, Arteta admits it is difficult to examine the condition of the opponent.

"It's very difficult tactically, because you don't know how they will prepare," Arteta said.

This party could actually be Rangnick's debut moment accompanying Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues. However, this failed to materialize because Rangnick still had to take care of his work permit in Queen Elizabeth's Country.

Arteta also doesn't know if the German will be on the United bench for the match, or just managing training sessions until the documents are available.

"We are trying to gather information to understand better, but we do not know the influence of their new coach. This is more complicated than usual," said the 39-year-old architect.

Ahead of visiting MU headquarters, Arsenal are in a positive trend. The Gunners have only lost once in their last 10 Premier League games. Bukayo Saka et al won seven wins and two draws.

The record was a big capital to steal victory over MU. If successful, Arteta's men could be in the Champions League zone.

Arsenal will visit Manchester United headquarters on Friday, December 3 in the morning WIB.
