Cesc Fabregas Warns Manchester United Arsenal Will Up Their Game At The Emirates
Cesc Fabregas believes that Arsenal will play much better against Manchester United in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
The Gunners lost 1-0 to the Red Devils in the first leg at Old Trafford on Wednesday after John O’Shea found the back of the net in the 18th minute.
The 37-time capped Spain international concedes that the north London outfit did not pose much of a threat to United’s defence in Manchester, but he insists it will be a completely different story at the Emirates Stadium.
“How much stronger are we at home? We showed that in the league, by beating them and scoring two goals,” Fabregas told The London Evening Standard, referring to Arsenal’s 2-1 Premier League win over Manchester United in November.
“Let’s think about the league, and the tie is still open. You look at the 1-0 scoreline, and we have seen worse things than that in the Champions League.
“Man United deserved to win, but now it is up to us to play well at the Emirates and beat them.
“We have to be more clinical in front of goal – that’s for sure. We passed the ball a lot and combined very well, but we were not clinical enough. That is what we have to improve.”
