Pipping Chelsea for the title has
given Manchester United a psychological advantage going into
Saturdays FA Cup Final, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Arsenal manager also believes the desire to achieve the
double could help push Sir Alex Fergusons side to victory at
Wembley. However Wenger describes Chelseas side as full of mature
men with a winning mentality.
I think Man United has a psychological advantage, said the
Frenchman just before Arsenal finished their Premiership programme.
They are on a high and can make a double. Usually that drives
you through a little bit. Chelsea will have the idea of revenge to
show how strong they are. What will take over I dont know.
But I was twice in a situation where we could make a double.
Both times I felt we did not have an outstanding game but the fact
that we were on a winning stream just pushed us through. We had not
a doubt we would win it. You just win because you feel you are in
the winners position.
I feel that psychologically it is an advantage to have won the
title. But Chelsea are a team of mature men. You take Terry,
Makelele, Lampard, Drogba and Essien, they are winners so I think
they can cope with that. I think it will be interesting to see what
takes over there.
