Former Manchester United midfielder, has named two leaders in the current Arsenal team.
He spoke on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, alongside Manchester United legend Paul Scholes, while giving his verdict on Arsenal’s Premier League derby 4-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Butt identified midfielder Declan Rice and defender William Saliba as pivotal figures for Mikel Arteta’s side.
His remarks came after Arsenal secured the win over Spurs, courtesy of two braces from Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres.
He emphasized Rice’s and Saliba’s leadership qualities, stating, “I am pretty sure Declan Rice is a big leader, I am pretty sure William Saliba is a leader, but they just need someone to rally them and say, ‘Lads, we can do this. We are a good team.’
“They proved that yesterday, and I get it, Tottenham were not at their best, but they won 4-1,” Butt said.
