Bukayo Saka played well for Arsenal against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday evening.
The Southampton legend was impressed with the display produced by the 18-year-old winger during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with United away from home at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Monday evening.
According to WhoScored, the Englishman provided the assist for the Gunners’ goal, took two shots, had a pass accuracy of 84%, made four tackles, and played two key passes.
Le Tissier was impressed with how Saka played at Old Trafford, and he has also criticised Nicolas Pepe for failing to get into the Gunners’ team ahead of him.
The 24-year-old winger, who joined Arsenal from Lille in the summer transfer window, has made five starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for Unai Emery’s side so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
The Ivory Coast international winger is not in great form at the moment and is struggling to affect matches.
Le Tissier said about Saka on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News on Saturday afternoon (12:59pm, October 5, 2019): “The one thing that probably did show up for me is that a boy of that age can go to Old Trafford and have that kind of impact on a game, and yet they have a bloke for whom they pay £72 million in their team, and he is non-existent.”
Le Tissier added: “I thought it was a tremendous performance from the young lad to go to a stadium like that in that kind of atmosphere in a big game like that, at that age, that will give him masses of confidence.”
