Ex-Arsenal striker Campbell: Arteta in better place than Solskjaer at Man Utd

Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell believes his old club have an edge on Sunday's opponents Manchester United.

Campbell, who was a title winner with Arsenal in 1991, believes Mikel Arteta is on steadier ground than his counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskajer at United

"I think Arsenal are in around about the same position as Manchester United, but Arsenal and Arteta have the added luxury of having won a trophy which gives him some form of leeway," he told the Daily Star.

"Manchester United and Arsenal fans are hungry for success and both managers have to deliver, especially when we're talking about two of the biggest clubs in England right now.

"Manchester United fans demand success, whether the manager is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or not, and Arsenal fans demand success too.

"Arsenal fans want to be able to challenge in the Premier League and get up there and back in the Champions League too. So, both Arteta and Solskjaer have to deliver."
