""Obviously he has been out for a long time, almost a year for different reasons and now we have to be very smart in the manner that we manage that load, the minutes," Arteta said.

Mikel Arteta warned Arsenal to guard against Manchester United's pace on transitions ahead of Sunday's Premier League match at the Emirates. United endured a difficult campaign and dismissed Ruben Amorim but beat Manchester City 2-0 under interim boss Michael Carrick, showing counter-attacking threat. Arteta highlighted United's ability to activate runs, exploit space and cause problems while acknowledging their weaknesses. Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapié have returned to training. Arteta stressed careful management of Kai Havertz's load after hamstring and knee problems and indicated plans to reintroduce him gradually depending on game context.
