Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal [23 March 1993]

The first Premier League clash at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Arsenal ended in a goalless draw, with only 37,000 fans in attendance. Earlier that season Mark Hughes had scored the only goal in a 1-0 win for United at Highbury. Arsenal had nine Englishmen in their starting lineup that day. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side went on to win the inaugural Premier League title, whilst Arsenal finished 10th under George Graham, though did win the FA and League Cup double.

Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal [19 September 1993]

Eric Cantona drilled home the game’s only goal from an indirect free kick towards the start of the 1993-94 season in which Manchester United went on to defend their Premier League title. George Graham’s Gunners would finish 4th this season, drawing 17 of their 42 matches. They also won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup thanks to Alan Smith’s winner versus Parma in Copenhagen.

As well as Cantona’s excellent strike, the 14-minute video of highlights below include a young Ryan Giggs, Arsenal’s nasty away kit and David Seaman’s mustache:

Manchester United 3-0 Arsenal [22 March 1995]

Although it wouldn’t lead to Manchester United winning the Premier League title for a third consecutive season, this was the start of an eight-game unbeaten run at the end of the 1994-95 season. Top scorer Andrei Kanchelskis scored the final goal after Mark Hughes and Lee Sharpe had netted for the Red Devils, all in the space of less than 30 minutes in the second half.

Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal [20 March 1996]

For the second time in three seasons, Eric Cantona scored in a 1-0 win at home to Arsenal in the Premier League. This would be the second of four consecutive games the French striker scored Manchester United’s only goal – three of which resulted in 1-0 wins. This game was also the start of United winning seven of their eight Premier League games as they secured the double-double, winning the FA Cup against Liverpool, 1-0, again with Cantona scoring the winner. United’s side included a number of stars from the class of ’92 – Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes, but it was only the Neville brothers that Terry Venables would include his squad for Euro 96 three months’ later.

Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal [16 November 1996]

Manchester United would win their fourth consecutive Premier League game at Old Trafford during the 1996-97 season thanks to an own goal from Nigel Winterburn. This result came off the back of three consecutive defeats, two memorable ones – losing 2-1 at home by Chelsea, a 6-3 drubbing at Southampton in those grey shirts and a 5-0 thrashing at Newcastle United.

Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal [14 March 1998]

With 15 minutes to play, Marc Overmars scored Arsenal’s first-ever goal at Old Trafford in the Premier League and shifted momentum towards Arsenal as they went on to win the double in 1997-98. In December, they had trailed Ferguson’s side by 12 points.

The Gunners side that day include Alex Manninger and Christopher Wreh. This came during a stretch in which Arsenal kept a then Premier League record eight consecutive clean sheets.

Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal [17 February 1999]

Andrew Cole’s goal on the hour cancelled out Nicolas Anelka’s opening goal during the 1998-99 season in which United didn’t lose a single Premier League game after Christmas, going on to win the historic treble.

Ryan Giggs would score one of the greatest goals of all-time in their memorable FA Cup semi-final replay win, also against Arsenal.

Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal [24 January 2000]

For the second consecutive season, these two sides would play out a 1-1 draw. Teddy Sheringham rescued a late point after Freddie Ljungberg’s opener for the visitors. This was Manchester United’s first domestic game in four weeks after comping in the FIFA World Club Championship over in Brazil. They would go on to win the Premier League title by a record margin – 18 points clear of Arsenal, after taking maximum points in their last 11 matches.

Manchester United 6-1 Arsenal [25 February 2001]

Manchester United would run away with the Premier League title against during the 2000-01 season. This thrashing of the Gunners gave them a 16-point lead at the time, and would finish 10 above their North London rivals at the end of the campaign.

Dwight Yorke opened the scoring inside six minutes as the Trinidad & Tobago striker would go on to net the first Premier League hat-trick between these two sides. Thierry Henry had equalised at one point for Arsenal before Yorke netted two more before the 21st minute. Roy Keane and Ole Gunnar Solskjær made it 5-1 before half-time, with Teddy Sheringham scoring a late goal – the only goal in the second half.

Watch Yorke’s hat-trick and all the goals here:

Arsenal’s second-ever Premier League victory at Old Trafford also secured their second Premier League title. Sylvain Wiltord scored the historic goal that goes down in Premier League memory as Arsène Wenger’s side wrapped up the Premier League title on their rivals’ ground, after finishing runners-up to them in the three previous seasons. Watch that moment here:

Manchester United 2-0 Arsenal [7 December 2002]

Manchester United got back to winning ways in the 2002-03 season, beat then Premier League leaders Arsenal just before Christmas. Goals from Juan Sebastián Verón and Paul Scholes got the job done as Arsenal failed to score for the first time in 55 matches. Stuart Taylor replaced injured Rami Shaaban in goal shortly before half-time.

Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal [21 September 2003]

This ill-tempered goalless draw was most memorable for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s stoppage time penalty miss and the clash afterwards. Patrick Vieira had earlier been sent off for kicking out in the direction of the Dutch striker (although not making contact), whilst eight yellow cards were branded during the match. Arsenal would go through the entire season unbeaten, later known as ‘the Invincibles’.

Here is that penalty and the incident following:

Manchester United 2-0 Arsenal [24 October 2004]

This was the match that ended Arsenal’s Premier League record unbeaten run of 49 matches as Ruud van Nistelrooy would this time convert a penalty, following Wayne Rooney’s dive inside the box. The 19-year-old sensation would then seal the win in the 90th minute on his 19th birthday:

Manchester United 2-0 Arsenal [9 April 2006]

Wayne Rooney scored against Arsenal again and Park Ji-Sung added a second as Manchester United recorded their fourth straight clean sheet versus the Gunners at Old Trafford. José Mourinho’s Chelsea would defend their Premier League title.

Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal [17 September 2006]

Arsenal’s third and final Premier League victory at Old Trafford to-date came in September 2006 thanks to a goal from Emmanuel Adebayor four minutes from time. United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak had denied Gilberto Silva from the penalty spot earlier in the match. It would be Manchester United who prevented Chelsea winning the Premier League for a third consecutive season though.

Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal [13 April 2008]

Emmanuel Adebayor opened the scoring in this fixture for a second consecutive season at Old Trafford before the defending champions struck back through a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty and an Owen Hargreaves free kick to claim three points. United moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League as a result, going on to win their second consecutive title and then the Champions League.

Relive Ronaldo and Hargreaves scoring here:

Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal [16 May 2009]

This dull goalless draw in May 2009 officially secured Manchester United their third consecutive Premier League title and their 11th title in only the 17th season in the history of the competition.

Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal [29 August 2009]

Manchester United had to come from behind once again after Andrei Arshavin thumped Arsenal into a first-half lead. Wayne Rooney equalised from the penalty spot just before the hour and Abou Diaby scored a bizarre own goal five minutes later to give United all three points. Arsène Wenger was famously sent to the stands late on after kicking a water bottle over Robin van Persie’s late disallowed goal.

Watch that memorable Wenger in the stands moment again here:

Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal [13 December 2010]

Park Ji-Sung’s goal moved Manchester United to the top of the table, three points ahead of Arsenal as they kept their 11th clean sheet in 19 Premier League matches at Old Trafford versus the Gunners.

Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal [28 August 2011]

One of the most memorable matches in Premier League history as Manchester United humiliated Arsenal at the start of the 2011-12 season with a thumping 8-2 thrashing of Wenger’s side. Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick and summer signing Ashley Young scored twice. On the opposite side, Robin van Persie scored his first goal in this fixture and it is the only time in 22 Premier League visits to Old Trafford that Arsenal have scored more than once. Wenger would splash out on Park Chu-Young, André Santos, Per Mertesacker and Mikel Arteta in the days following, before the transfer deadline.

Watch all eight of Manchester United’s goals again in this video:

Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal [3 November 2012]

Robin van Persie scored inside three minutes in his first match against his former side following his summer move from North London. Patrice Evra would double the lead for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side before Santi Cazorla scored a nice consolation in the final minute for the visitors. United would go on to win the Premier League title before Ferguson called an end to his legendary managerial career.

Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal [10 November 2013]

Robin van Persie scored the game’s only goal last season meaning he has scored in this fixture for each of the three previous seasons. This was a rare victory for David Moyes against one of the top sides as Manchester United slipped out of the top three for the first time in Premier League history, finishing 7th.

Manchester United ?-? Arsenal [17 May 2015]

Tomorrow will be the 23rd meeting between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford in the Premier League. The Gunners were 2-1 winners in the FA Cup tie back in March, and aside from their Monday night defeat to Swansea City, are in much the better form of these sides of late. Victory for Manchester United would move them one point above Arsenal, but their rivals do still have a game in hand.

What is your prediction for tomorrow’s game?
