Mikel Arteta says Man United will be scary to face if they sign this particular player
Mikel Arteta has sounded a serious warning over Arsenal’s grip on European supremacy, admitting that one major transfer could dramatically shift the balance of power back toward Manchester United. Speaking at London Colney, the Arsenal boss acknowledged that while his side currently leads the Premier League and is viewed as a Champions League frontrunner, their dominance may not be secure for long.
The alert follows United’s dramatic 3-2 win at the Emirates under caretaker boss Michael Carrick, a result that convinced Arteta the Red Devils are rebuilding faster than many expected. According to the Spaniard, there is a specific player profile United must not acquire — a move he believes would instantly elevate them above Arsenal.
Though he refused to name the target publicly, insiders suggest the player in question is Cole Palmer, currently starring for Chelsea F.C.. Reports claim Manchester United F.C. are exploring a blockbuster deal that could even involve Bruno Fernandes. Arteta fears adding Palmer’s creativity to United’s improving attack would create a devastating force.
He highlighted Carrick’s tactical evolution, United’s renewed belief on big occasions, and their growing tactical intelligence as warning signs. Despite Arsenal’s strong position, Arteta believes one decisive signing could erase the gap overnight and ignite a fierce title battle next season.
