Mikel Arteta’s first team squad has been training hard in the intense heat at the Sobha Realty Training Centre.

Throughout the latter part of the week, the sun has been beaming down on our players, and they have been practicing diligently to make sure we are ready for our journey to Old Trafford.

We play Manchester United at 430 p.m. on Sunday, and three more points would keep us in the running for the title.
