Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has taken aim at Arsenal.

Ten Hag says his team have been hampered with injuries in a way Premier League leaders Arsenal have not.

Speaking ahead of their Europa League last-16 second leg against Real Betis, he said: "When you see the whole season, we had some setbacks, also some shortages of players.

"But every time we dealt with it and it's about the players who are available and every time there was a team on the pitch.

"But what is true is I think, till now, we had only one game when we had a squad available totally. One game where I could say, 'okay now I can pick my team [only] for a tactical approach' and that was perfect. It was against Man City at home. It was the only time in this season.

"At other times, in every game we had one player suspended, one player is injured, or has illness so we have to deal with it now.

"Of course, you hope it is like Arsenal. Almost all the time, their squad is total available."
