With Manchester United's FA Cup clash with Arsenal just around the corner, English soccer legend Alan Shearer has made a bold prediction in an interview that Manchester United is expected to beat their rivals. He is convinced that if the Red Devils can bring back the same spirit they had against Liverpool, the FA Cup will be theirs for the taking.
Shearer couldn't help but think back to United's draw with Liverpool, commenting, "United's attitude and performance in that game was exemplary. If we can continue this form in the FA Cup, progression to the next round will be within reach."
Talking about Arsenal's recent situation, Shearer pointed out: "Arsenal's attacking end seems to be out of control, the number of goals is far from meeting expectations. In the Newcastle game, they missed several good scoring opportunities. Extrapolating from this, Manchester United are expected to shine on the road, and if they can reproduce their glory, it will not be surprising for them to win."
Meanwhile, Shearer is curious about Arsenal's tactical layout: "Arsenal are in desperate need of a rebound and it's unknown how they will line up. The tactical arrangement of this matchup will undoubtedly be a feast for the eyes."
In addition, Shearer also analyzed Arsenal's road to the title this season: "Arsenal suffered difficulties in the League Cup and the league, but the Champions League performance is still good. To make up for the season's regrets, the FA Cup may be their last salvation. However, Manchester United will never sit back and watch the opportunity slip away, and they will go all out to win."
