“I have been an unused substitute since the last four games. I wish to return against United. I am fit, I know my worth. I love to play all the time. We are currently battling for the EPL top four log and I hope things change for better.

“No one thinks we can keep battling till this moment. We have had a good start and I hope we finish well."

Iwobi said he would be happy for Arsenal to finish the season strongly: “I will be glad to see us finish in a good position. I can’t imagine myself watching from distance in the next coming games.

“The fans think I’m not fit, they have forgotten Wenger has changed his tactics and formation from the one I used to know. I keep my hope alive for the next game.

“I have no other club. London is my home. I have no choice than to keep fighting for shirt. I will never quit Arsenal no matter what till I got it right.”
