Arsenal boss Unai Emery: 'Facing Manchester United remains a big challenge'

Arsenal boss Unai Emery says that his side will be facing "a big challenge" when they play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has said that facing Manchester United at Old Trafford remains "a big challenge".

United have endured a disappointing start to the campaign, with Jose Mourinho's side sitting eight points adrift of Arsenal in the Premier League table.

The two sides go head to head in the North-West of England on Wednesday night, and while Emery has acknowledged that his side are motivated to claim a result, the Spaniard claims that they must improve their performances away from the Emirates Stadium.

At a press conference, Emery told reporters: "It's a new match, a new challenge, a big challenge. It's away and we need to continue improving our mentality away.

"We know we need to change to get more competitive away. I think the team is doing that, but it's a new challenge because we're going to play against Manchester United away, and the challenge is bigger than other matches.

"For us, it's a very exciting match. The preparation for this match is also a big motivation for us. It gives me a big motivation for Wednesday. If we are stronger now, we need to [show that] on Wednesday."

Arsenal head into the match having put together a 12-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League.
