Aubameyang is often the scourge of Man United’s defense

DBasia.news – Manchester United will host Arsenal in the match week 14 of the Premier League 2021-2022, at Old Trafford Stadium. One of the Arsenal players that the Red Devils need to watch out for is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Armed with a series of victories, Arsenal currently have a better position than Manchester United in the standings. The Gunners occupy fifth place, while Cristiano Ronaldo and his team are stuck in 10th position.

According to statistical records, Arsenal often presents difficulties for Manchester United. The Red Devils can go seven games without a win against Arsenal in the Premier League. It would be the first time in the history of the battle between the two teams.

Moreover, Arsenal could win back-to-back Premier League games at Old Trafford for the first time since February 1979.

Inevitably, Michael Carrick has the task of leading the Manchester United squad to end this negative record. Unfortunately, a number of core players are still recovering from injuries. Although, Harry Maguire has returned from suspension.

“There is nothing new. There have always been distractions throughout the year due to playing a lot of games. There are always players that you wait for to a certain extent,” Carrick told Man United’s official website.

“Obviously, Maguire will be back in the team after serving his sentence. However, we will see who is ready to appear and available for tomorrow’s match,” he added.

Carrick was clearly obliged to find a counter strategy for Mikel Arteta. Moreover, Arteta has a sharp weapon in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The former AC Milan striker has always scored in his last two away games against Manchester United.

Aubameyang has put Arsenal 1-0 up against Manchester United in early November last year. In the previous season, Aubameyang’s goal thwarted Manchester United’s victory. The final score was 1-1.
