Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted that his team are concerned about the threat of Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford, ahead of the Gunner's trip to Old Trafford this weekend.
The visitors will head into the game as slight favourites, having gone unbeaten in the Premier Leaguesince their opening day defeat to league leaders Liverpool,but Gunners fans will be cautious asWenger hasa poor record at the Theatre of Dreams and aneven worse one against the United manager, Jose Mourinho.
Arsenal's trip to Old Trafford last season was played in similar circumstances as Wenger's side went into the game as red-hot favourites but slipped to a 3-2 defeat, thanks to a brace from young Marcus Rashford, who was making his Premier League debut.
Speaking in a press conference, as quoted by theSun,Wenger alluded to last year's disappointing defeat and admitted that his players must be aware of the threat posed byRashford.

"The guy who killed us last year was Rashford." The 67-year-old said.
"I watched him against a Danish team in midweek and he scored and I could see straight away that this guy could be dangerous.
"On crosses his movement was good, the way he moved in the box was strong. He took everyone by surprise because no one knew him in England."
Rashford is likely to start in the central forwards berth forthe match against the Gunners, as main striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is suspended after picking up five bookings this season.
While Ibrahimovic will miss out,Wenger was quick to play down this potential boost for his team and admitted thatinjuries to some of his players, were more of aconcern to him
He added: "Look, certainly they would prefer to have him but we have players out. So let's not speculate on the weakness of Man United."
