#2 Tired legs and fatigue will certainly not help Arsenal players as they play United less than 72 hours after the Atletico game
We have a reached a certain stage in a season where fatigue plays a huge role in the outcome. Arsenal played Atletico Madrid in the mid-week Europa League fixture at the Emirates on Thursday. The clash against Manchester United comes in less than 72 hours after the Atletico Madrid game.
All of Arsenal’s first team stars played 90 minutes in the intense Atletico clash and have less than 3 days to recover. On the other hand, Manchester United are playing a competitive game after a gap of 8 days and Mourinho has a fully fit squad for the Old Trafford clash.
For Arsenal, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a major doubt for the game because of a knee injury and Mohamed Elneny is out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
