Martin Odegaard may not be experiencing his most impressive season, but former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp predicts he will ‘run the show’ in an Arsenal victory over Manchester United this weekend.
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has thrown his support behind Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard ahead of this weekend’s Premier League clash. Redknapp believes that the Norwegian midfielder has what it takes to dominate the game and lead Arsenal to victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Despite a challenging season marred by injuries and a dip in form, Odegaard has shown glimpses of his brilliance. The 26-year-old midfielder has struggled to replicate his previous season’s success, where he scored 15 league goals. This season, he has only managed to net two goals and provide three assists in the Premier League. However, his performance in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven has reignited hope among Arsenal fans. Odegaard scored twice and assisted once in a 7-1 thrashing of the Dutch side, showcasing his potential to influence the game significantly.
Redknapp, known for his candid opinions, expressed his confidence in Odegaard’s ability to “run the show” against Manchester United. Speaking to BetVictor, Redknapp highlighted Odegaard’s impressive display against PSV and predicted that the midfielder would continue his fine form at Old Trafford. He also praised Arsenal’s overall performance, noting that the team looked much more like themselves going forward.
The former Spurs boss also pointed out Manchester United’s recent struggles, particularly their lackluster performance against Fulham and the physical toll of their midweek match against Real Sociedad. Redknapp believes that Arsenal’s solid defense will be able to withstand any threats posed by the Red Devils, paving the way for an away win.
As Arsenal prepares for this crucial encounter, Odegaard’s form will be under the spotlight. The midfielder himself has acknowledged his shortcomings this season but remains optimistic about his recent resurgence. With Redknapp’s backing and a renewed sense of confidence, Odegaard will be eager to prove his worth and lead Arsenal to a memorable victory over their rivals.
