Old Trafford: A battlefield of old enemies

Manchester United Vs. Arsenal, a match eagerly awaited by every football fanatic out there whose heart goes out to either of the two teams. Personally, I wish for Manchester United to win, but Arsenal’s current away record is better than United’s home return so far.

Although the odds seem to be on Arsenal’s side, there is one thing that stands between Arsenal and Victory: “Howard Webb!!” He is the match referee today and may I risk saying, at the cost of sounding too mean, Webb has always been wanting United to win. He’s sometimes denied a clear penalty and even refused a red card or two.

This is going to be a must win for both sides, although many are hoping for a draw. Well, looks like the Red Devils and the Gunners have once again met in their legendary warzone, Old Trafford!

MANCHESTER UNITED:
