Steve McClaren urges Manchester United to be more like Arsenal

Steve McClaren believes that Manchester United should take a leaf out of Arsenal's book following the Gunners' impressive victory at Old Trafford.

Former England manager Steve McClaren believes that Manchester United should follow Arsenal's example after the Red Devils were beaten by Mikel Arteta's men at the weekend.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had witnessed his side hit RB Leipzig for five in the Champions League, but United were brought crashing back down to earth as Arsenal claimed their first top-flight win at Old Trafford since 2006 with a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang penalty.

United struggled for large parts of the game and are still yet to triumph on home soil in the Premier League this season, with McClaren claiming that Solskjaer's men need to take a leaf out of Arsenal's book if their results are to improve.

Speaking to talkSPORT, McClaren said: "Credit to Arsenal, I thought they were excellent. They were organised, disciplined, had intensity in and out of possession, which Manchester United couldn't match.

"Yes, United are OK when they're in possession but the problem, for me, is when they're out of possession everyone is kind of all over the place.

"You see the discipline and organisation of Arsenal; consistency week in, week out gets consistency of performance, and that's what Manchester United need!

"At Manchester United you have to win, every defeat is a crisis. You might get out of the mire with a 5-0 against Leipzig, but you know on a Thursday morning you've got to win on Sunday, or you'll be back to being criticised.

"That's how it works at big clubs. You get beat once and it's like a morgue, it's like a crisis. The players have to respond, but they're not responding."

United will be looking to make amends on Wednesday when they travel to Turkey to take on Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League.
