“They’re a very, very good squad and bench… the amount of forwards they’ve got.

Earlier this week, fellow Man Utd legend Rio Ferdinand explained why he believes Arsenal are the team to beat in the title race this season.
“I said before kicking a ball this season that with Arsenal, this is their chance to win the league,” Ferdinand said.
“I felt they had to do it this year and they couldn’t come second again. They’ve got an amazing group of players, it’s probably the best squad in terms of depth in the league.
“They recruited well in the summer and found a way again against Fulham tomorrow. They are my favorites to win the Premier League.”
