Former South African footballer Shaun Bartlett predicted that Manchester United will win their match against Arsenal on Sunday 12 January.

SHAUN BARTLETT: ‘UNITED WILL SNEAK A WIN THIS WEEKEND’

Former footballer Shaun Bartlett, who hails from South Africa, and played for Charlton Athletic in the Premier League, made a surprise prediction about Manchester United’s clash against Arsenal. Barlett predicts that United will “sneak” a win.

“This game is lined up for a surprise result, and I feel United will sneak a win this weekend,” said Bartlett in a comment shared to The South African by Showmax.

United clashes against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday 12 January. The match will be streamed live on Showmax Premier League at 17:00.

Bartlett said that Ruben Amorim’s men can take plenty of encouragement from their game against Liverpool when they head to the Emirates this weekend. United drew against Liverpool 2-2 at Anfield last weekend.

SHAUN BARTLETT CONFIDENT THAT UNITED CAN SPRING THAT SURPRISE!

The former footballer went on to say that he is confident that United can spring a surprise this weekend.

“I believe Arsenal will always be favourites at home, but United have shown that they can compete with their showing against Man City and Liverpool recently. Both games United played have shown glimpses of improvement, both away from home (Etihad and Anfield). It almost seems like they play better when not under pressure from their home fans,” he said.

Bartlett went on to predict that there will be goals in the game, but not as feisty as previous seasons.

“Games between these two very seldom produce fewer than two goals per game, that is why I feel there will be goals in this game but not as feisty as past seasons,” he continued.

Bartlett predicts that United will win 2-1 against Arsenal. He also praised the new United manager Ruben Amorim but has urged fans to be patient.

“We know he’s a good manager, but it always takes time to adapt to a new league or players that you didn’t sign. Once he gets players in that can play to his system, the team will get better results.”

Manchester United’s Harry Maguire banned and fined for speeding.
