Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson has praised Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who he says has transformed the Gunners this season.

The Togolese international has scored in his last nine games, and that has helped Arsenal to five points clear of United in the league table.

Ferguson said: "Arsenal might be a more compact team than when they had Thierry Henry in their side; they were more about individuals then.

"They looked to Henry as the player, whereas now they are more solid. Adebayor's height and physique make a difference.

"When we played them last season they were knocking long balls up to him and Arsène Wenger says his physical presence has made a big difference to the team.

"We have seen big centre forwards over the years whose main attribute was heading a ball but Adebayor has a lot more than that."

He is good now, He needs to work on ball control and perfect scoring once he gets a chance.

Let him work hard esp for the coming game for Man utd and AC Milan.
