Erik ten Hag and Mikel Arteta have a long way to go before they can be compared to Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, but David de Gea is hopeful that both bosses could reignite a rivalry that has lost its fire in recent years.
De Gea will be the only player on the pitch at the Emirates this weekend with experience of the days of Manchester United vs Arsenal when Ferguson and Wenger ruled, although the Spaniard missed out on the height of what was, at one stage, the greatest rivalry the Premier League had ever seen.
For nine seasons, between 1995/96 and 2003/04, United and Arsenal shared every Premier League title. For five of those years they finished first and second and some of the battles they shared are part of the fabric of Premier League history.
