Arsenal’s Premier League title quest faced another setback after a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford. Declan Rice's 74th-minute equalizer denied United, who led through Bruno Fernandes’ free-kick. With only six wins in 16 games under new manager Ruben Amorim, United remains in 14th place, while Arsenal grapples with a 15-point deficit to league leaders Liverpool, focusing on securing a Champions League spot. Despite the pressing issues, Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta controversially dismissed questions regarding his team’s lack of January signings amid their injury challenges.
Arteta, however, was in no mood to answer questions about the club's failure to make signings in January amid a striker injury crisis, or about its stuttering title challenge.
"They have so much quality and they pick the right player and normally that would end in a goal. We opened the gate to lose the game."
Bruno Fernandes' stunning free-kick put United ahead in first-half stoppage time.
The Gunners sit 15 points behind runaway leaders Liverpool, now with just one game in hand, with their focus beginning to turn to holding off the chasing pack.
