Arsenal vs Manchester United: 5 key battles to watch out for

#3 Paul Pogba vs Aaron Ramsey

Pogba - United's prodigious son

Paul Pogba has undoubtedly been United’s X-factor this season. The Frenchman is benefitting from the freedom that he enjoys while playing with Matic and has been a key element in the Red Devils’ winning formula so far.

Pogba was dearly missed when he had that lengthy injury lay-off and the results were starting to show for it as United grew unbalanced. However, since his return, the midfielder has looked sharp and continued his good run of form that United enjoyed so much in the beginning of the season.

On Saturday he will come up against a man who has somewhat shown his true potential in recent weeks. Aaron Ramsey clearly had it in him all along but stringing together a few good performances on the spin has been the problem. The Welshman produced one of his best performances for the Gunners during midweek and it almost felt as if he was flawless in midfield, hardly putting a wrong foot.

Both of these players know how much it means to put on their respective side’s shirts and has worked their way through everything for occasions like these, it is as clear as daylight that they will try to outshine each other.
