Arsene Wenger claims that Manchester United’s busy schedule will not help his side win the EPL title.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 manager, Arsene Wenger, has canned claims that Manchester United’s participation in three different competitions will not help his side overcome United in the Barclays Premier League title race and the Frenchman insisted that the Gunners should concentrate
on their own football.
Wenger told the reporters, “Their schedule can be a handicap, but will it be? I don't know. When you have momentum it can be helpful as long as everything goes for you - they had that in 1999, where the championship was very close between us and them”.
“What has changed between 1999 and today is that every game is much more difficult in the Premier League. The only thing I do know is it will be only helpful to us to win our games, so we just have to focus to try and win our games. For the rest of the teams,
we cannot look too much”, added the Gunners manager.
Manchester United had set their sights on repeating their incredible feat of 1999 treble winning season in which the Red Devils won the UEFA Champions League, Barclays Premier League and the FA Cup. However, their FA Cup semifinal exit at the hands of city
rivals, Manchester City, ended that dream.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s men are currently leading the Barclays Premier League table, seven points clear of the second placed Arsenal and they still have to play six more games. Manchester United are favourites to win the English title this season which will
take them ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in overall titles.
Manchester United is also enjoying a strong run in the UEFA Champions League and has conceded the least goals in Europe this season.
The Red Devils marked victories in both legs against their local rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38605 in the final at Wembley.
However, Arsene Wenger stated that Manchester United are super favourites in the UEFA Champions League and claimed that extra fixtures would be off no good to Arsenal.
