Pedersen: Man Utd are best

Blackburn midfielder Morten Gamst Pedersen has insisted that Man Utd are the better side in the Premiership, ahead of Arsenal as the big two battle at the top of the Premiership.

The 26-year-old Norway international has hailed Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils as ‘incredibly strong.’

"If you give Manchester United your little finger, they'll take the whole hand," Pedersen told VG.

"You could always come back with the scoreline at 1-0, but with 2-0 and ten players it gets tough.

"Arsenal are a strong side, but United are better. Look at that team. They're incredibly strong."
