Man Utd fear Arsenal return to form

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has warned his players that early season poor form for Arsenal can easily be turned around, and advised his players to be at their peak when the Gunners come to Old Trafford this weekend.

Arsenal have only managed 1 point from their first 6, and with a tough visit to Old Trafford this weekend many would not be surprised if the Gunners remain at the bottom end of the table.

"They answered everybody back on Wednesday. Arsenal played well. They got a great result. A lot of people thought they would go out. I didn't," Ferguson said.

"I thought they would win it. The game on Sunday will be another stepping stone for them.

"They will try to make sure they get a result, but we are in good form and are looking forward to it.

"A Manchester United-Arsenal game is always contentious and significant in terms of the rest of the season. It is one you always look forward to."
