Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has said that the Red Devils need to follow Arsenal’s transfer strategy following their Champions League exit. Ralf Rangnick’s men saw their European adventure ended on Tuesday evening as Atletico Madrid sealed a 1-0 success at Old Trafford.
Coupled with the 1-1 draw in Spain, it means that United now have little to play for besides a top four place between now and the end of the season. As it stands, it is Arsenal who hold the advantage in that particular battle as they sit one point clear of the Red Devils - albeit with three games in-hand. That lead could potentially be extended as the Gunners take on Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Whilst Arsenal have been praised for the turnaround this season, one aspect that has seen them draw plenty of plaudits is their faith in youth. Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe are among the academy graduates to have sparkled, whilst summer signings Ben White, Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale have also all impressed despite their tender years.
