Wojciech Szczesny: No better time for Arsenal to face Man United

Wojciech Szczesny believes there is “no better time” for Arsenal to be facing Manchester United ahead of the Gunners’ trip to Old Trafford on Sunday.

The north Londoners sealed a famous 1-0 victory at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday as they took control of their Champions League group, four days after having secured a 2-0 win over Liverpool.

Arsene Wenger’s men head to Old Trafford looking to keep their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table intact.

And goalkeeper Szczesny is in confident mood heading into the showdown at Old Trafford.

“It’s been a good week for us so far,” Szczesny told Arsenal Player. “[We’ve had] two clean sheets and two results against two quality opponents, one away from home at one of the toughest venues in Europe, I believe.

“Real Madrid got battered here [in Dortmund] last year so it’s a good feeling to come out of here with three points.

“We’re looking forward to Sunday and we’re going to try and make it a perfect week.

“It would be an amazing week to get nine points out of the three games. Probably not a lot of people expected us to do so.

“There’s not a better time for us to go to Old Trafford, we’re confident, we’re enjoying our football, so we’re looking forward to it.”
