Rio Ferdinand has called on his Manchester United mates to raise their game and ignite their Premier League title defence as they host current League Leaders at Old trafford.
The Red Devils who are currently number 8 on the premier league table made a poor start under new boss David Moyes, but have managed to go unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions.
The Centre-half hopes his team will gear up and put up a fight on Sunday when they face the gunners. He said: “I don’t think we’ve shown ourselves this season on a consistent basis, not just in the big games.
“It is time to start putting our foot on the pedal and motor on. We have to do that if we want to remain in contention to win the league. Arsenal are in a good vein of form. They are the team to catch. We have to make sure we are right and ready for the challenge.
“We have to win every game. It doesn’t matter what game it is or whoever we play against. Whether it’s a top of the league team or not, we have to get points. Nothing changes – we expect to win every game we play at home.”
Ferdinand added: “The onus is on us. We’ve had a few bad results at Old Trafford this season already and we can’t continue like that. People say we have to win this weekend against Arsenal, but it doesn’t matter whether it is Cardiff or Swansea or whoever it is, we have to win.”
