Arsenal are technically the Premier League's best - Van Gaal


Louis van Gaal has talked up the qualities of Arsenal
ahead of Manchester United's trip to the Emirates
Stadium this weekend.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has described
Arsenal as the best "technical and tactical" team in the Premier
League ahead of their meeting on Sunday.

The league leaders travel to the Emirates Stadium for a crucial
clash and the Dutchman acknowledged the quality of his side's
opponents.

However, he did say Arsenal needed to improve as they should
have won more in recent years given the quality Gunners
manager Arsene Wenger has at his disposal.

"Arsenal are technically and tactically the best team in the
league," said the 64-year-old.

"Nevertheless, they haven't won so much, so you have to look
for that improvement with that team.

"We are happy but I think Arsenal can come back from a defeat.
They have shown that a lot of times."

Van Gaal claimed his players were already starting to look tired
following a busy run of fixtures having battled to a 2-1
Champions League win over Wolfsburg on Wednesday.

"The solution is recovery, recovery, recovery," he continued.

"That is why it is so difficult to prepare for the match against
Arsenal.

"We have to see how the evaluation is from my fatigue
specialist."

Van Gaal also revealed key midfielder Michael Carrick has been
passed fit to play in the game.

He added: "Carrick can play so I have a choice. I am happy to
say that there are no injuries from Wednesday night."
