During Arsenal's 1-0 win against Manchester United on Sunday, their star player Bukayo Saka took a tumble down a steep slope. However, manager Mikel Arteta has reassured fans that Saka should be fine despite limping off the field. The young England international, who has been a crucial player for Arsenal this season, fell awkwardly and hit the hoardings behind the goal. Although Saka did return to the pitch, Arteta decided to give him a rest and substituted him in the 82nd minute.
After the match, Arteta was asked about Saka's injury, which had caused some rival fans to mock him on social media. The manager confirmed that Saka should make a full recovery and will be ready for their final game against Everton next week. This comes as a relief for Arsenal, as Saka had previously suffered a nasty injury in their match against Bournemouth.
Despite the injury scare, Arsenal managed to secure all three points at Old Trafford and keep the Premier League title race alive. However, Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane and Arsenal legend Paul Merson were both critical of Manchester United's performance. Keane even suggested that Arsenal's players were probably wondering how easy the match was, while Merson felt that United did not put up enough of a fight.
But despite the criticisms, Arsenal can now focus on their final game and hope for a favorable result from Manchester City, who will be facing their title rivals, Liverpool. In the meantime, Arsenal have put seven players up for sale ahead of the summer transfer window, as they look to make changes to their squad.
One player who received some backlash during the match was Casemiro, with former United player Gary Neville defending the Arsenal star and pointing out that he "can't run either". However, Arsenal fans will be pleased with their team's performance, even though they may not have played at their best. Merson believed that Arsenal were only playing in second gear and could have done more, while Keane felt that they did what they needed to do in order to secure the win.
In the end, it was a good result for Arsenal, who are not known for their success at Old Trafford. As the season comes to a close, their goal difference may not matter as much as securing the three points and finishing strong. It will be interesting to see how Arsenal performs in their final game and what the future holds for them in the upcoming transfer window.
