Mohamed Elneny praised Mikel Arteta’s pre-match analysis of Manchester United’s strengths (Getty)Mohamed Elneny has praised Mikel Arteta’s ability to study opponents and believes his tactical instructions were key to Arsenal’s victory over Manchester United on Sunday. The Gunners recorded their first away win in the Premier League against United since 2006 as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s second-half penalty sealed a 1-0 victory. Arsenal had created the better chances at Old Trafford, while United, who ran out 5-0 winners over RB Leipzig in the Champions League last week, struggled to find a way through the Gunners. ‘He gave us instructions on how to close down the spaces against Manchester United before the game to avoid what happened to Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig recently. ‘What Mo transmits to the team is special, he has this energy as a person,’ said the Arsenal manager.
