Man United legend agrees with Thierry Henry on Arsenal's key Bukayo Saka issue

Manchester United legend Andy Cole has lauded Arsenal starlet Bukayo Saka.

Saka has enjoyed an exceptional 2022/23 campaign so far, netting nine goals and providing a further eight assists in the Premier League in just 23 outings. That kind of form has propelled the Gunners to the top of the league table, currently sitting two points clear of second-placed Manchester City despite having one game in hand on Pep Guardiola's side.

Now, former United and Newcastle striker Cole has heaped praise on the 21-year-old while admitting that the Hale End academy graduate also needs to toughen up a bit when it comes to constantly getting kicked by opponent defenders. "I agree with Thierry Henry, Bukayo Saka does need to give his opponents a bit more stick and toughen up", Cole told Best Sports Betting Canada when speaking about the England international.
