Arsenal defender Tomiyasu: We want clean sheet at Man Ud

Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is determined to put his injury hell in the rear view mirror.

The Japan international came back from the Asia Cup in February with a calf issue that has derailed his season.

However, he has started the last three matches for the Premier League giants.

“The two centre-backs, Gabi and [William] Saliba, they are so consistent - and so is Ben [White] as well," Tomiyasu said, per The Standard.

“We have had a lot of clean sheets because of them. I want to be part of that [defense]. We will try to get another clean sheet at Old Trafford as well.

“Obviously it won't be an easy game because it is a tough place to play and take three points. But we are confident and we will be there to get three points.

“If we win the title, we will be happy. I don't want anything else, we just want the title. For me, there has not been many chances to be involved in this title race, so I am happy I am involved now. If there is a chance in front of us, we have to go for it and take it."
