Arsenal's coach, Mikel Arteta, appeared in a press conference to discuss Sunday's match against Manchester United in the 23rd round of the English Premier League at the Emirates Stadium.

The coach said: "About Bukayo Saka not scoring for 12 matches? This is always possible, but Saka's impact in matches is not limited to scoring. His influence is evident in the entire offensive process of the team, and the way he draws defenders opens up large spaces for his teammates. Of course, we want him to score and create goals in every match, and this should be the goal at the level he has reached, so we continue to work on that."

On the absence of Riccardo Calafiori and its impact on the team's balance: "We always try to adapt to the quality of our players. Some players give us greater dynamics or different options in terms of the spaces they occupy and how they connect with each other. Calafiori's quality lies in his great ability to move smoothly within spaces. We still have another training session, after which we will determine the status of Hincapié and Calafiori."

Regarding Guardiola's description of Arsenal as the best team in the world: "I don't know, I think we are a team that always strives to be better. We do a lot of things right, but we are far from perfect. Our only goal is to maintain the level we present and try to improve again."

He added: "We now see that the man-to-man marking style dominates not only the English Premier League but also Europe. If we want to win major titles, we must control all phases of play."

He added: "Havertz is very close to returning. He has been absent for a long time, nearly a year, for various reasons. We have to be very smart in managing the physical loads, and I am confident that in the coming weeks he will get playing minutes. It's great to have a player like him who can be used in different positions, and you will see him in more than one position. We are very happy with his return."

He emphasized: "My feeling towards the club is unique, and this gives you something extra. Knowing many people inside the club and understanding Arsenal's history from the inside is very beneficial, but then you have to adapt to the circumstances and challenges."

Regarding Ethan Nwaneri's loan to Marseille: "The deal is very close. Talented players need playing minutes, and Ethan hasn't had enough of them. The last thing I want is to halt his development because he is a true talent and lives football in all its details. After discussions with the player, his father, and his agent, we decided that a loan is the best option, and we had to choose the right place. Our previous experience there with William Saliba, and having a brave coach like Roberto De Zerbi, makes the environment ideal for his development, and the style of play suits his characteristics."

Regarding the match against Manchester United: "Every game is different. Individuals make the difference in the end. We will be ourselves, try to control the game as we always do, and impose our style regardless of what the opponent wants. We want to take the match to areas that suit us. With Michael Carrick coming in, he will bring new ideas and the intensity of performance will rise. We saw that in the Manchester derby in terms of behavior on the field. We expect a tough match, but we will be ready, especially since we are playing at home."

He added, "We need the fans to continue doing what they're doing inside the stadium because it makes things harder for the opponent. With the upcoming matches, we were waiting for the return of Havertz and Jesus. Everyone will get opportunities and playing minutes. It's great to have them back, especially since they're in good shape."

Regarding Viktor Gyökeres: "There are many things that need to happen for him to reach the desired numbers, but he is doing a good job."

He concluded about the physical pressure: "The season started without a preparation period, he played many minutes and took on a big responsibility. Now with other options available, this is a positive thing for the team."
