Manchester United has outclassed opponents since Solsjkaer took over. There are matches that his team dominated from the go and got the wins. There are other times that his team had to sit back and absorb the pressure. This was executed to perfection particularly against PSG, Tottenham and Arsenal.

Rest assured, United will have a strategy to win. Ole does not mind if Arsenal will have most of the ball possession. His greatest weapon is United's ability to pick Arsenal apart during deadly counter attacks as seen in the FA Cup. If United can have their defensive shape intact then it will be up to the front boys to get the job done.

#1 Mentality

United's key quality under Ole has been their mental strength. He has managed to get the players back to a winning mentality. Even in the most difficult situation, they have clawed and toiled to get a result or win. This mental strength will be crucial when it comes to maintaining their defensive shape and containing the Gunners' pressure.

It is expected that some of the leaders such as Nemanja Matic and forward Anthony Martial will be unleashed at the Emirates. United is expected to be formidable regardless of the type of squad that takes to the field.
