While Manchester United have won the Carabao Cup and still have chances in the FA Cup and Europa League, Arsenal have all their hopes on the Premier League.
Arsenal aims to win the Premier League, while MU wants to maintain third place in this tournament, and go deeper in cup competitions.
Sharing on the program Vibe with Five , former player Rio Ferdinand hypothesized: “Imagine you are a player. You want to finish the Premier League in third place but have a title, or come second in the Premier League but you have to finish the Premier League in third place but have a title, or come second in the Premier League, but you can’t do that. don’t have a title? I bet you’d be happier if you had a title.”
“MU won the Carabao Cup. Assuming they could not win the FA Cup and Europa League, and finish third in the Premier League, they would still be judged to have had a more successful season than Arsenal in the case of ‘Cannons’ player’ cannot win the Premier League,” Ferdinand expressed his opinion.
Arsenal are leading the Premier League but have been eliminated in cup competitions. In the last two rounds in England’s top division (30 and 31 – PV), coach Mikel Arteta’s army dropped points when there were two 2-2 draws against Liverpool and West Ham respectively.
Meanwhile, also in the 30th and 31st rounds of the Premier League, the championship competitor with Arsenal, Manchester City, won two victories against Southampton and Leicester City. On the ranking of the number one league in England, the gap between “Gunners” and “The Citizens” is currently only 4 points, in the context of the Etihad Stadium team playing less than one match.
On April 27, Man City will face Arsenal in round 33 of the Premier League. This is considered to be the match that decides the tournament champion this season.
Meanwhile, MU is currently ranked third in the Premier League with 59 points, 15 points behind Arsenal, and has almost no chance to compete for the championship. After winning the Carabao Cup, the goal of the “Red Devils” is probably to stay in the top 4 of the Premier League until the end of the season, and try to go deeper in the Europa League and FA Cup.
In front of the Old Trafford team are two important cup matches. On the morning of April 21, MU faced Sevilla in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, after drawing 2-2 in the first leg. On the evening of April 23, coach Erik Ten Hag’s army faced Brighton in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Wembley.
