Bendtner wants to lead Arsenal's title challenge
Nicklas Bendtner is ready to grab the chance to finally establish himself as an Arsenal first team regular - and sustain their title hopes - ahead of a trio of crunch Barclays Premier League games.
And the Denmark international is confident the Gunners are "capable of winning every game" after hauling themselves back into contention via a 10-game unbeaten run which has yielded 24 points.
Bendtner returned after a three month lay-off following groin surgery as a substitute in Wednesday night's goalless league clash at Aston Villa.
Bendtner said: "We have a lot of big games coming up. I've only trained one time with the team and played half an hour at Villa and everything feels okay.
"We will see how I am during the week and hopefully things will keep progressing so I will be 100% when the weekend comes.
"If Eduardo is out, am I ready to come in? I wouldn't be here if I was wasn't ready. If I play Sunday, I will be ready as well and Manchester United is the sort of big game you'd love to come back into. Is this a chance to become the number one striker? That is my plan. Is it achievable? Of course."
