Manchester United Legend Patrice Evra



Speaking to Betfair, Evra shared his thoughts on the Premier League's return after the World Cup. The five-time Premier League winner said:

"My worry for Arsenal is the depth of the squad. I’m really excited to see who they are going to buy in January. Some clubs buy players when they are in a crisis, but like Sir Alex Ferguson used to do, you need to buy players when you’re at the top."

"Imagine if Saliba got injured, the impact he has on the team if he was to get injured they would be done. So, they need another centre-back."

"It’s a big chance for the owner of the club to backup Arteta. I’m sure that Arteta is convinced that Arsenal are going to win the league, and the players are convinced, but they need some backup."

"It's an exciting Premier League, and it's been an exciting start. For me, the three best teams right now are Arsenal, Newcastle United and Manchester City. We still don't know who's going to win, but I will tell you one thing, and this is coming from a Manchester United legend, I actually want Arsenal to win."

Saliba, 21, has established himself as a crucial member of Mikel Arteta's squad, playing at right centre-back alongside Gabriel Magalhaes. His standout outings this season helped him receive a call-up to France's 2022 FIFA World Cup squad. Saliba played a total of 27 minutes in the World Cup.

Saliba leads the Premier League with the most possession won in the defensive third. He has 70 sweeps whereas the second placed Maximilian Kilman has 58.
