Rooney calls out Arsenal player who had fortunate win over Man Utd.

Former Manchester United player Wayne Rooney was back at Old Trafford, this time as a pundit for Sky Sports. During the top-flight clash between United and Arsenal, Rooney shared his thoughts on a controversial incident involving Arsenal's Thomas Partey.

Rooney believed that Partey was "very lucky" to avoid giving away a penalty in the first half. United's Amad Diallo went down after a challenge from Partey, and while there was some contact, replays showed that Amad's foot had actually hit Partey's. Rooney and fellow pundit Roy Keane both agreed that Partey was fortunate with the outcome of the incident.

"It's not a penalty for me, but Partey is very lucky," Rooney explained on Sky Sports. Keane added, "He's a lucky boy, but I don't think it's a penalty."

Even former United player and pundit Gary Neville weighed in on the decision, questioning whether Partey had actually kicked the ball with his right leg. Ultimately, the penalty appeal was denied, and Arsenal went on to win 1-0.

The victory against United was Arsenal's third consecutive win against their historic rivals, a feat they hadn't achieved since 1998. This result gives Arsenal a much-needed boost in their quest for their first Premier League title in 20 years. However, their title rivals Manchester City are still in a strong position, just one point behind with a game in hand.

City's final two matches are against Tottenham and West Ham, while Arsenal's last fixture is against Everton at the Emirates. It will be a tense end to the season for both teams, but Arsenal will be hoping for a slip up from City to give them a chance at the title.
