What a week it has been for Manchester United? Beating reigning French Champions at their own turf without 10 first team players is no mean feat.
Fast-forward almost 24 hours and United supporters all reacted in unison again, but this time with laughter following Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat at Rennes in the Europa League.
United’s victory in France was sensational. Two Romelu Lukaku goals and a Marcus Rashford penalty helped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to progress to the last eight on away goals.
This tweet summarized everything:
Arsenal’s loss was embarrassing. A sending off for Sokratis, a Nacho Monreal own goal and a huge mountain to climb ahead of the second leg at the Emirates.
Piers Morgan described Arsenal’s performance as “embarrassing, pathetic, spineless, infuriating, miserably mediocre debacle.”
To be honest, Rennes are 34 points behind PSG and in the 10th position in Ligue 1. How could Arsenal bottle it up like that?
Tottenham won away to Real Madrid, Manchester United overcame PSG, while Chelsea made light work of Dynamo Kyiev. So Arsenal was the only English team to loss in Europe.
And the man on behind Rennes driving sit was very familiar to Unai Emery. His name is Hatem Ben Arfa. Now Emery froze Ben Arfa out of PSG just like he is doing with Ozil. Should Arsenal fans be worried?
Arsenal, PSG and Real Madrid have something in common. Of course we know that they have all had a torrid week in Europe but they are also sponsored by the famous Emirati Airline Fly Emirates. The three teams have really disappointed the airline.
Remember when Arsenal fans celebrated as PSG walloped Man United at Old Trafford? It seems these guys celebrate MUFC defeats more than their own wins.
There have even been fans who think that there team is greater than Tottenham. Come on dude, this stat should shut you down. Tottenham have played Barcelona and Dortmund away and they didn’t lose
This is how Arsenal supporters treat their players after a defeat …
Don’t want to ever hear how this club have got a loyal fan-base towards their players.

So a big match is going down on Sunday. United are going to the Emirates full of confidence with eight consecutive away wins:
The last time United was at the Emirates, Jesse Lingard turned the stadium into a dance floor.
Ole Gunnar Solskajaer has just confirmed the bad news that no Arsenal fan wanted to hear; Matic and Martial are back.
Sunday should come so soon.
