Mikel Arteta hadn’t even joined the club for the first time as a player when Arsenal last beat Manchester United away in the league, but on his first visit to Old Trafford as manager he masterminded a significant victory over our old rivals.
The boss was delighted to finally break the hoodoo, and was full of praise for his players after the game.
Here’s what he said to us at the final whistle…
on the win...
Absolutely. I think we merited the points. I'm really happy that after 14 years without a win, we were able to come and do what we've done today.
