Embattled Wenger calls for ‘united front’

ARSENE WENGER has called for Arsenal to produce a “united front” on and off the field when they run out at the Emirates Stadium for tonight’s Champions League play-off first leg against Udinese.

The Gunners yesterday saw their captain Cesc Fabregas rejoin Barcelona after reluctantly letting him return to the Nou Camp in a £35 million deal, bringing an end to the long-running transfer saga.

In the opening game of the new Premier League campaign at Newcastle on Saturday —which ended goalless — chants of “spend some money” were directed from the away end.
