Arsenal and Manchester United have been two of the biggest teams of the Premier era. Under the leadership of Wenger and Ferguson they managed to be one of the best teams in the world and win many trophies for their team’s showcases. It is true that although Arsenal’s last two seasons have been good, since the departure of those coaches, things are not the same for either team, but that does not mean that every time they face each other there is an increased rivalry. for the past they carry.
Here we are going to review the last 10 times they have faced each other to see what the teams’ statistics are like since their two fundamental pillars of the Premier League era left:
The last confrontation between these two clubs was in the Premier League in the first leg, where Arsenal at home was able to win with two goals on the horn against a United that despite not being at its best always gives war to this Arsenal.
This match was a preseason match before the 23/24 Premier League began, and Jadon Sancho scored, who at that time was still trusted and had a better relationship with Ten Hag than was demonstrated later.
Another goal in the 90th minute would be the one that gave the Gunners victory in this second Premier League match of last season, where United was able to withstand the many attacks from the London club until the goal had to fall. his own weight in a big game.
Last season’s first leg was one of the many recitals that Marcus Rashford offered us in possibly the best season of his life and where everything fit him. The English player who was sweet managed to quickly cut off the Gunners’ hopes.
On matchday 34 of the 21/22 Premier League, Arsenal would manage to get ahead of United very quickly, in the 3rd minute, and a few minutes later make it 2-0 which, despite not being final, would mark the match until the end with the London victory.
And in the season of Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to United, it could not be any other way than with a double, giving his team victory in a match where anything could happen, but the Portuguese is the one who knows best how to guide his team. on these occasions.
This tie is almost the only one that we have been able to verify on the list, and the January 2021 match was highly contested. Same shots, same shots on goal, almost the same percentage of possession for both teams and an extremely even game.
The 20/21 season left us with one of the few away victories we have in these confrontations, and that is that a goal from Aubameyang in the 69th minute would close the game so that neither of the two could generate much more danger from that moment on.
We already have to transport ourselves to the 19/20 season to remember the goals of two players who are no longer even in the Premier League, such as Sokratis who plays for Betis, and Nicolas Pépé who is for Trabzonspor.
And the oldest match that this list allows us to remember will be one in which Dani Ceballos or David Luiz played for Arsenal, and Lingard, De Gea or Pogba for United. The game, again very close, ended in a draw despite United’s 10 shots.
