There was a statistic doing the rounds after the north London derby that put question marks over a significant win for Arsenal. Why, exactly, were they letting the Premier League's top assist maker go?
Aaron Ramsey, introduced off the bench, provided two assists that day. Those took him to the top. Even after the game against Manchester United, only one player has provided more.
Which, it has to be said, makes it curious that Arsenal will let him leave for free in the summer.
Danny Welbeck is also now expected to leave the club on a free transfer in the summer
On Thursday it also emerged that Danny Welbeck would be allowed to exit the Emirates at the end of his contract.
