Arsenal vs Man United – both sides eye a top four finish

Both sides eye a top four finish
Manchester United will play Arsenal on Sunday in the Premier League
Two old adversaries are set to lock horns once again at the Emirates on Sunday as they look for a top four finish in the Premier League. Jose Mourinho seems to show the sympathy towards Arsene Wenger by saying that he hopes that Wenger keeps his job at Arsenal.



The Portuguese though have not been the French man’s biggest fan down the years. He even branded Wenger “a specialist in failure”. Wenger’s position at the Emirates currently remains under question after 20 years at the helm.

Meanwhile Mourinho told the reporters ‘I fell sympathy for all the other managers because we live through the same pain, everyone”.

He also said “Football has changed. Now it’s a game that makes it impossible for managers to stay at their positions for long”.

“Football now means, if you don’t get success then you’re gone – so yes i feel bad for other managers. When you are at one club for 20 years, it is impossible to have success every single year. Even Sir Alex will tell you that”.
