Louis Saha reckons Manchester United would put down a benchmark with a win at bitter rivals Arsenal.
The top-flight giants clash in a crunch showdown at the Emirates. And former United favourite Saha reckons it would be a significant statement from United under new boss Ruben Amorim if they could upset title challengers Arsenal.
Amorim has won two of his three games in charge and is unbeaten since taking the reins at Old Trafford after the sacking of Erik ten Hag. And the 4-0 demolition of Everton on Sunday has put United fans in good mood.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta's Gunners have also turned a corner in recent weeks and are on a three-match winning run of their own and unbeaten in four.
Saha told Casino Utan Spelpaus: "The players need to actually use this platform against Arsenal to create an improvement benchmark. Arsenal is definitely a different type of animal to the opponents that Amorim has faced so far.

"The quality of Arsenal going forward is just amazing, and will provide way more trouble than United had against Everton. Definitely, it's going to be a big test and United need to be in their top form and full of confidence.
"Tactically, it will maybe provide a bit more understanding, because he [Amorim] may have chosen a certain type of plan based on the players that he's got. Maybe you will see something closer to the first XI that he wants to play week in, week out.
"It will be a huge test, but if they do win, it's a massive statement. I'm sure the manager is looking forward to this type of fixture."
