Premier League? You're having a laugh! Europa League more important to Man Utd than Arsenal clash

Jose Mourinho has made it clear he will rest players against Arsenal on Sunday if it helps their chances in the Europa League

There has been Marc Overmars’ Old Trafford winner, Thierry Henry’s ‘Wassup’ goal, Dwight Yorke’s hat-trick, the 8-2 thrashing, Sylvain Wiltord’s title-clincher, the Highbury tunnel battle, Pizza-gate, THAT Ryan Giggs goal… Almost everywhere you look in the annals of Manchester United v Arsenal clashes in the Premier League era, there lies high stakes and even higher drama.

However, Sunday’s latest clash appears to be arousing so little interest that even Jose Mourinho would rather it wasn’t even being played.
