Erik ten Hag has undermined his bizarre dig at Premier League leaders Arsenal with his team selection for Manchester United's Europa League round of 16 second-leg clash against Real Betis. United head into the game with a 4-1 aggregate lead over the Spanish outfit following a strong first-leg performance at Old Trafford.
The Gunners sit five points clear of second-placed Manchester City and 16 clear of United in third in the Premier League table. Now, Ten Hag has taken aim at Arsenal after claiming that Mikel Arteta's side have barely had any injury problems all season, unlike the Red Devils.
United were the first team to get the better of the north Londoners this season, winning 3-1 against the Gunners at Old Trafford. You would think that if Ten Hag reflected on that result, he would have noticed that Arteta was without arguably one of Arsenal's most important players in Thomas Partey.
