Former Arsenal captain, Patrick Vieira has aired his opinion on Arsenal's heated premier league rivalry with Manchester United during his playing days
"Manchester United was the best team in the country, and we knew that if we wanted to win the title, you have to finish in front of them. We had teams that were prepared to challenge United. We weren’t scared at all about going to Old Trafford."
"We had a manager who wasn’t scared to be in front of Alex Ferguson and to stand up for himself. We had players who didn’t care about the reputation of the United players.
We wanted to confront them, to challenge them, because we had character and personality in our team. I also think those games did really well to promote the Premier League.
I enjoyed every single game that we played against United. We won, we lost, but it was always really difficult and really challenging." (Arsenal)
