Gilberto knows all about the significance of our rivalry with Manchester United.

“It has to be the day of Van Nistelrooy’s penalty [in 2003],” Gilberto told Arsenal Player. “I laugh because when you see it afterwards it’s quite funny, but of course the reaction is not something that we want from football.
“It’s not an example football players must give to the fans, especially young kids, but also you don’t send a good message around the world.
