Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag said Arsenal have not had to deal with the same amount of injuries affecting his side.
The Red Devils will be without a number of important players for their Europa League match against Real Betis. In hopes of finishing the task after winning the first leg 4-1.
While Antony and Anthony Martial have not gone to Spain for the second leg encounter, Alejandro Garnacho is projected to be out for few weeks.

What Did Ten Hag Say About Arsenal?
Ten Hag said: “Man City home [2-1 victory in January], it was the only time this season [that United had a fully fit squad]. In other times, every time, every game is a player suspended, injured, and illness.
“So we have to deal with it well, of course, you hope.
“I see Arsenal, they almost have all the time a squad that is totally available.”

However, his comments regarding Arsenal’s injury history may not be well received in north London.
One of the crucial members of the Gunners’ team last season was Emile Smith Rowe. He has missed significant portions of this season due to recurrent injuries.
Since the World Cup, Arteta has also been without his star attacker, Gabriel Jesus. And the Brazilian superstar has only recently made a comeback.
Arsenal will need to work hard to continue their present run of form through the conclusion of the season. If they want to win their first championship in 19 years. Eddie Nketiah is now also out with a minor injury.
