Fans from both sides are in anticipation of the much awaited Saturday game between Manchester United and Arsenal, a fixture that marks the renewal of the Wenger-Mourinho rivalry, albeit, with Mourinho as a Manchester United boss this time around.

Despite Arsenal’s form, the Gunners’ inability to secure a win in the league at Old Trafford is no secret. And it was at Old Trafford, where the Red Devils inflicted the heaviest defeat to Arsenal by a scoreline of 8-2.

The result is something that still haunts Arsenal fans and it seems like Manchester United’s twitter account manager is in no mood to give them any respite. The official twitter handle tweeted a video highlight of the 8-2 game with the caption ‘ We’d 8-2 miss the chance to show this again…’

Arsenal are in some run of form and the upcoming fixture on Saturday might just serve as a chance for Arsenal and Wenger for redemption for the previous results against Manchester United and Mourinho respectively.
