LONDON. — Thierry Henry sees elements of the Invincibles in the current Manchester United soccer squad.

The Gunners legend was a key part of Arsenal’s unbeaten 2003-04 campaign.

That squad has gone down in history as one of the finest in the English Premier League era. United have only played one game this season, the 4-0 demolition of West Ham on Sunday.

They have a long, long way to go to match Arsenal’s famous effort but Henry sees something in Jose Mourinho’s squad that his had 14 years ago.

Henry told Sky Sports’ The Debate: “Do I see the Invincibles in this Man Utd team? Oh yeah. “When I see them especially on Sunday I saw that.

“I saw power, pace, guys with ideas and legs. “They can cover the ground really quickly, that’s very important. We had that at Arsenal.

“Arsene went into more guys that can play in and around the box. “A lot of the players at Arsenal look to be the same type of player, the same frame in a way.

“Mourinho likes bringing players he knows are going to be able to play the way he likes to play.”

United only finished 6th in the Premier League last season due to struggling for goals and drawing 15 top flight matches, but will have been encouraged by this fast start against the Hammers. — The Daily Star.
