“You’re getting sold at the end of the season no matter what because this performance is not acceptable at this prestigious club” Mikel Arteta fires warning at Arsenal star as the gunners achieve title aim at Old Trafford

The Gunners’ performance at Old Trafford left Mikel Arteta dissatisfied. Despite facing arguably the weakest Manchester United team in Premier League history, Arsenal struggled, managing only 12 shots against a team that has averaged conceding 21 shots per game this year. Instead, it was United who had significant chances, with Thomas Partey’s mistake nearly leading to a goal. Arteta, visibly frustrated, urged his players to calm down and regain composure.

Arteta commented after the match, acknowledging the team’s shaky performance: “We started well and scored, but then we became too cautious and lacked purpose in possession. We needed to change our approach, but it was challenging.” However, despite the subpar performance, the only thing that truly mattered was the result.

Arsenal has a rich history at Old Trafford, where crucial 1-0 victories in 1998 and 2002 set the stage for Premier League triumphs. While the specific scorelines may fade from memory, the significance of the victory remains paramount. With three points secured, Arsenal finds themselves in the thick of the title race, a scenario not seen since 1999.

Arteta expressed the team’s desire to keep their title dreams alive, even if it means rooting for their archrivals. Similarly, Kai Havertz’s declaration of support for Tottenham highlights the unique dynamics of title contention.

Regardless of the outcome on Tuesday night, Arsenal’s season cannot be faulted. They have achieved record wins and goals in the Premier League, surpassing previous milestones. As Arteta aptly stated, their performance is not just progress but a significant chapter in the club’s history.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Manchester City’s relentless pursuit of the title, Arteta remains optimistic. Whether Arsenal secures the league title or not, their season has been nothing short of remarkable.
