Writing in his Times column about the upcoming Premier League fixture between Arsenal and Manchester United at Old Trafford, Rooney backed the Red Devils to upstage the Gunners in their backyard. "United have a lot of quality, and if you get the basics right you give yourselves the platform for the quality to come through. That’s what we saw in victories over Liverpool, Southampton and Leicester City," Rooney said. The former Everton star also revealed what Man United need to do to defeat Arsenal at home.

Warning Ten Hag ahead of the high-profile encounter, Rooney said that Man United need to display the same intensity they showed against Liverpool at Old Trafford. "Against this Arsenal side they’ll need the intensity they showed in those wins, especially the one against Liverpool. Their best bet may be to play like my United did in those classic games — pressing aggressively, while hitting Arsenal on the break. If you sit in a mid block or low block and are passive against a side who move the ball as quickly and well as Mikel Arteta’s team do, it’s a recipe for trouble. I expect a tense, hard game, a bit like the old days — though maybe not quite as much action in the tunnel," Rooney added.
