After two decades, Arsenal legend Martin Keown has publicly apologized to Ruud van Nistelrooy, reflecting on their infamous clash during a heated match between Arsenal and Manchester United in the 2003/04 season. The game ended in a 0-0 draw where Van Nistelrooy missed a crucial penalty, leading to significant tensions between the players. Despite the passing years, the historic rivalry remained a topic of discussion, but the two players now seem willing to put the past behind them as they reconnect, with Van Nistelrooy now managing Leicester City.
"Apologies for all the shenanigans that went on back in the day," Keown expressed, indicating a reconciliatory spirit as they reflect on the past rivalry.
The rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United during the years of Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger defined a generation of football, filled with intensity and moments of drama.
