Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney has revealed he admires Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta ahead of the huge clash at Old Trafford this afternoon.
The Gunners have enjoyed a perfect start to the Premier League season, picking up five wins from five, and could extend their lead at the top of the table to four points with a win against United. Arsenal have started the season is fine form and full of confidence, but the game against United will be a huge test of their title challenge credentials.
Arteta has played down speculation that the north London outfit could challenge for the Premier League title this season, but after Manchester City dropped points for a second time this season there is a real opportunity for the Gunners to extend their advantage at the top of the table. Rooney believes his former side will need to show a similar intensity as they did to beat Liverpool earlier this season if they are to stand a chance of beating Arsenal.
