The upcoming clash between Manchester United and Arsenal this Sunday has reignited memories of the fierce midfield battles that once defined the fixture, most notably between Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira. However, the current state of both teams’ midfields couldn’t be more different, with Arsenal boasting the impressive Declan Rice while United struggles with Casemiro’s underwhelming performances.
As Arsenal continues to push for the Premier League title, Manchester United finds themselves in a state of despair following their recent defeat to Crystal Palace. With the season coming to a close, many United fans are eagerly awaiting its end, hoping for better fortunes in the future.
The contrasting fortunes of the two teams will be on full display this Sunday, with Arsenal looking to maintain their title challenge while United aims to salvage some pride in what has been a disappointing season. As the spotlight shines on the midfield battle once again, the missed opportunity to sign Declan Rice looms large for Manchester United, who could have secured a top player for a similar fee to what they spent on Casemiro.
