Tom Cleverley: 'Arsenal are a threat'

Despite losing some players, Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley insists that Arsenal will provide a threat this afternoon.

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has insisted that Arsenal are still a threat as the two sides prepare to meet at Old Trafford later today.

The visiting Gunners have recently sold Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri, while midfielders Jack Wilshere and Gervinho will miss the fixture with injury and suspension respectively.

However, despite losing a number of players, Cleverley believes that Arsenal will provide United with a "massive test" this afternoon.

"Even though Arsenal have lost a few players they have young ones coming through who are big talents – just look at Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey – and there are plenty of others who are comfortable on the ball," the 22-year-old told the club's official website.

"I definitely still see Arsenal as a threat, and we’re viewing this game as a massive test. Historically, it’s a massive fixture, and I don’t think that’s changed."

Some bookmakers have priced an Arsenal victory today at 13/2, the longest odds they have been for a win since Arsene Wenger became the club's manager.
