In a highly anticipated matchup at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal proved their dominance over Manchester United. The game started off slow, with Ruben Amorim's team keeping the Premier League title contenders at bay in the first half. However, the tides quickly turned in the second half as Arsenal outclassed United, securing a 2-0 victory with goals from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba.
As the game unfolded, former United captain Roy Keane provided his commentary on The Overlap's live watchalong. He did not hold back in his criticism, especially towards Marcus Rashford, who came on as a substitute for the final half an hour. Despite Rashford's recent success under Amorim, Keane was unimpressed with his performance, describing his general play as "shocking."
Keane also expressed frustration with the overall team's performance, calling it "rubbish" and stating that United often "fool" their fans with their lack of dynamic play. He saw no promising signs from United that night and believed they were simply going through the motions.
On the other hand, Arsenal's victory was their third consecutive win, cutting Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points. As for United, they remained in the bottom half of the table with only 19 points after 14 games. In other Premier League matches, league leaders Liverpool were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle United, while Manchester City bounced back with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
Another former United star, Dimitar Berbatov, also weighed in on the game, acknowledging that the second half was a "storm" for United. He referenced Amorim's earlier statement that a storm was coming for Arsenal, and it certainly did in the form of their two goals from set-pieces. Berbatov believes United will need to address their mistakes in training to bounce back from this defeat.
Overall, it was a disappointing night for United, and Keane was particularly disappointed with their lackluster performance. He felt they were simply going through the motions and not giving their all on the field. As for Arsenal, they continue to climb up the Premier League table and prove themselves to be a strong contender for the title.
