He\u2019s still young and he\u2019s still learning about the top level, and has the quality as well to progress in different parts of his game.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cI think they have a lot of good strikers at their club with Martial, [Jesse] Lingard, [Romelu] Lukaku and so on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think their danger can come from any side. You need to be careful of everyone on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>He added on Solskjaer\u2019s impact at Old Trafford and the spark rekindled in key men: \u201cTheir results show the difference with the new manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter that, I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s changed in the squad but I think they play more together, with more freedom maybe, and you can see that with Martial or Pogba. They have more freedom on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you play with this freedom, you have more confidence in your quality and you can show that on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While United will head to north London buoyed by an impressive run of form, Arsenal are coming off the back of a 2-0 derby victory over Chelsea and are feeling pretty good about their own game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a football player, this is a typical game that you want to play in,\u201d said Koscielny.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfterwards, the result is another thing, but you are very excited to play against big teams, big clubs, with lots of history in the competition.
