Arsenal legend Thierry Henry admitted that Mikel Arteta “should have” won at least one piece of silverware for the Gunners in recent seasons, using Manchester United’s record in cup competitions as an unflattering point of comparison.
Arteta has steered Arsenal to three successive second-place finishes, the club’s best run of Premier League results since Henry’s goals led the north London outfit to their last top-flight title in 2003–04. The 2020 FA Cup remains the only major trophy—or final—Arsenal have reached during Arteta’s five-and-a-half-year tenure.
