Arsenal’s Arteta looks ahead to Manchester United test with confidence

"Watching their recent games, you can see the character in their squad. They are more than capable of putting in a strong performance and beating you on the day."

Arteta added that Arsenal would try to carry on the positive momentum from their stunning demolition of PSV on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

"What happened was we were super effective in the box and that’s a massive strength, especially in the Champions League, and that’s why we won the game with that margin," he said.

"The manner of the way we did it lifted everybody but that is in the past unfortunately. It is about what we do today, the preparation for tomorrow and trying to replicate a great performance again on Sunday.

"But (against PSV) things were coming at the right moment, at the right time, in the right way and that’s very helpful, but every game is different."
