Report exposes what Manchester United players have been saying about Arsenal behind the scenes
Arsenal is currently leading the Premier League by five points, making them the object of envy among other teams in the league.
Despite being down 2-0, the Gunners made a spectacular comeback and won 3-2 in the final seconds of their game on Saturday, thanks to Reiss Nelson’s amazing goal.
Some Manchester United players have reportedly shared their thoughts on Arsenal’s push for the title.
Based on a report by SportsDias, a few members of Manchester United’s team thought they had a chance of catching up to Arsenal in the Premier League.
This was after their victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, which boosted their morale.
The gap between the two teams was 11 points prior to the previous weekend’s games, but the Red Devils still have a game in hand over Arsenal.
However, the recent 7-0 loss on Merseyside has shattered Manchester United’s hopes of catching up to Arsenal, and the gap between the two teams has now widened to 14 points.
Given the current situation, it seems highly unlikely that Erik ten Hag’s team can mount a challenge for the title, and their efforts should be focused on securing the third spot.
As of now, Tottenham is trailing behind Manchester United by four points in the fourth position, while Liverpool is seven points behind in fifth.
Although some Arsenal fans may find it amusing that some Manchester United players believed they could catch up to their team, it should be seen as a significant compliment.
This is because Mikel Arteta has set high standards for his team to follow this season, and the fact that Manchester United was already talking about Arsenal shortly after winning a trophy indicates how much progress the Spaniard has made at the Emirates Stadium.
Currently, Arteta’s main objective is to continue the team’s pursuit of the Premier League title and cement his place in Arsenal’s history.
