Ten Hag: Arsenal always have full squad available unlike Man United

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Man United's Europa League clash with Real Betis, Erik Ten Hag said: "When you see all season, we have had some setbacks, every time we've dealt with it.

"It's about the players who are available and every time there's a team on the pitch who deals with it,” he said. 

“In just one game we had the squad available totally and I was able to pick my team, from a tactical approach, perfectly - that was against Manchester City at home this season.

"Every other time it's been one player suspended, injured, or unavailable through illness. We have to deal with it well but Arsenal, all the time their squad is totally available.”

That statement isn’t entirely true. Even if the Gunners have coped relatively well in terms of fitness and player availability this season, they have only just got £45m summer signing Gabriel Jesus back from a lengthy layoff, while Emile Smith Rowe missed a few months after groin surgery.

The likes of Mohammed Elneny, Reiss Nelson, Tierney, Zinchenko, Leandro Trossard, Thomas Partey and Eddie Nketiah have missed games due to injury.
