[@iceice0000]

@@abdullahabdilaahi3872 agreed. Even as a United fan, if I had to choose the best era and best rivals we had, I would say its the Arsenal team of the early 2000s. The battles we had with them were memorable and special. Keane vs Vieira, SAF vs Wenger, Sharp vs JVC, Sega vs Vodafone, Old Trafford vs Highbury. Later on, we had many rivals (Mourinho's Chelsea, Sheikh's Man City), but they were never quite the same as Arsene's Arsenal.

[@abdullahabdilaahi3872]

M Ice Yh I agree I mean I’m unlucky because i only because interested in football in late 2013 early 2014 so I have only been supporting Man Utd for 6-7 years and so I never got to see the real rivalry of arsenal vs Man Utd with Wenger and Fergie. To be honest with you, yesterday I was watching the aftv Sunday q and a lockdown with Robbie and somebody asked Robbie “What rivalry was better, mourinho vs pep or Wenger vs fergie” and Robbie just laughed and said Wenger vs fergie all day long and that mourinho and pep dosen’t even come close. That just goes to show how big the rivalry between arsenal and Man Utd’s greatest managers were.

[@troy8420]

@eoe123321 I don't think he ever lost the hunger, just didn't have the funds to keep up and they lost their scouting advantage and didn't do enough to get it back. If he had surrounded himself with some better people during the mid 2010s we could have done better. Not to mention we nearly won the CL in 2006 and the PL in 2016 which could have really changed the trajectory of our club at both those points.
