Mikel Arteta looks back on the rivalry between Arsenal and Man United ahead of their EPL clash on Wednesday
Transcript
00:00The rivalry between Arsenal and Man Utd has sort of diminished over the years, from the
00:05then-Gafferty days and how ferocious it was. Because of that history, would you like to
00:10be a part of that again and be in an era where Man Utd and Arsenal are back at the top of
00:15the table competing?
00:16Well, they were competing and they were the main two teams, so obviously when you are
00:20fighting to get that cup at the end, the tension raises. I think certain individuals as well
00:27made it very, very special. And you cannot force that. We are trying to get there, I'm
00:34sure we're going to be trying to get there and let's see what happens in the future.
00:38I was lucky to have Arsene here and the way he was talking about Alex and his teams and
00:43the way he conducted himself. He was top and that was a lesson as well because you really
00:48want to win but as well you have to accept that the opponent can be better or you can
00:52be better than the opponent and you have to continuously move on.
