New Delhi: Ahead of the crucial Champions League semi-final clash between defending champions Manchester United and Arsenal, Indian skipper Bhaichung Bhutia feels that his favourite side would have to remain wary of the two R’s.
Known to be an avid fan of Arsenal FC, Bhaichung opines that it’s imperative for Arsene Wenger’s side to keep an eye on Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speaking to Goal.com, Bhaichung said, "Arsenal have to look at Rooney and Ronaldo as they always pose a threat."
For Arsenal, he expects Cesc Fabregas, Robin Van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor to put on a good show for the Gunners at Old Trafford.
"The trio of Fabregas, Van Persie and Adebayor hold the key," he said.
The Mohun Bagan star believes that Arsenal’s record against the big clubs and Manchester United, in particular has been noteworthy.
"Arsenal have done well this season against the big clubs and especially Manchester United. This is the only trophy Arsenal is alive in so it’s important that the club gets a good result," said Bhuitia.
When asked for his predictions, the Sikkimese Sniper avoided to give the scoreline but did mention what he wants. "As an Arsenal fan, I would be happy if they get a good result," he added.
