1. Ferguson has been in charge of Manchester United for 24 years, has experienced countless strong opponents, faced Mourinho's embarrassing three years without a win, and Benitez is even more enmity, but the only person who can be called Ferguson's lifelong enemy is the gentle Frenchman Wenger.

When Frenchman Arsene Wenger took over the reins of Arsenal in 1996, the smug Ferguson did not initially take the opponent seriously, and even Arsenal fans were skeptical of the manager's quality in the Japanese league. However, it only took one season for Arsene Wenger to become familiar with the Premier League, and soon won the league and FA Cup in 1997-98, and was named the Premier League Coach of the Year that year.

Then Arsenal rose strongly, in the 0304 season is a record unbeaten record to win the title, since then the two teams every season has been regarded as the most important focus of the Premier League, Ferguson and Wenger is from the war of words to psychological warfare. At the height of the tension between the two, Ferguson was once asked, "If you only had one bullet in your pistol, would you choose to kill Wenger or the hot girls?"

With the arrival of Benitez and Mourinho in recent years, especially the strong rise of Chelsea, Ferguson's attention has temporarily shifted to Mourinho and Benitez, on the other hand, due to the club's financial constraints and some mistakes in the coaching philosophy, Wenger's Arsenal team has begun to decline, and the conflict between Ferguson and Wenger has gradually eased, although it is still ironic, but the war of words has been less than the original.

In the 17th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Arsenal for the 210th time, and Ferguson faced Arsene Wenger for the 43rd time.

Last season, Arsenal came close to winning the title for the first time in the last five years, biting Manchester United and Chelsea in the first half of the season, and even leading the Premier League for a while. However, the young Gunners were unfortunate to be injured in the closing stages of the season. It may seem like a failure, but the inevitability is also inescapable - a weak defence, a lack of reinforcements and the overuse of Cesc Fabregas contributed to last season's disappointing results to varying degrees.

According to the tradition of the general giants, in this case, the summer transfer must be recruited in a big way, in order to make a comeback, the same is in debt, Ferguson decisively took out 80 million euros to buy the core of Inter Milan Gao Xiaodong, only to create a 15-game winning streak, but Arsenal is the same as in previous seasons, the transfer rumors throughout the summer, from Bremen elder Mertesacker, to Montpellier's Bosnia-Herzegovina captain Sparšić, and then to the recently rumored Roma abandoned Mex, from Gao Xiaodong to Schwarzer to Adler, the news about Wenger to buy players continues, and the only newcomer who can be put in place is central defender KoszcheniHe is also the Gunners' most expensive signing this summer, from Lorient, worth 12.5 million euros, and Moroccan striker Shamacher, who has been remembered by Wenger for a long time, finally came to invest this summer, but he has become a free agent and did not spend a penny on the Gunners.

Apparently Arsene Wenger still believes in his youth guard, and he believes that Ferguson can build a Premier League dynasty with a group of young men from the class of 92, and as long as he persists, he can hope to win the Premier League title even if he can't build a dynasty.

In fact, Arsenal's performance at a really good start this season, in the preseason, Bella team won the only Emirates Cup title that Arsenal has in recent years with Nasri's goal against Celtic, drawing 1:1 with Liverpool in the opening game, and then facing the weak team to win by a large score in a row, but lost to Chelsea, but then defeated Manchester City 3:0, 2 in the last round: 1 After beating Fulham, Arsenal have caught up with Chelsea and only need to look up to Manchester United in the table, although the difference of 11 points is a bit big, but if they can beat Manchester United on the road, the competition for the league title can be ignited immediately.

In the Champions League, Arsenal also had an easy time, with a 3-1 win over Partizan Belgrade to secure a better group qualification than at the same time last season.

Arsenal take this strong dialogue with Manchester United more seriously than Manchester United, and with Chelsea going to play a London derby with Tottenham, in the eyes of Arsenal, this game against Manchester United is almost comparable to a battle for the league title.

A win for Arsenal would close the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United to eight points, and an eight-point advantage is not out of reach in the absence of a halfway point in the league, and if Chelsea are unable to beat Tottenham and Arsenal beat Manchester United, then Arsenal will be in a better position.

Professor Arsene Wenger, who has rarely taken the initiative to provoke, took the initiative to launch psychological warfare against Manchester United this time.

Speaking to the BBC before the game, Arsene Wenger said: " Now Manchester United is in trouble, they drew with Blackpool in the Carabao Cup, suffered a heavy defeat to West Ham United in the Carabao Cup, a record that ended a 15-game winning streak, and an end to Manchester United's longest unbeaten record in 12 years, but the opponents are all weak teams, which is enough to show that Manchester United has reached the end of the strong crossbow, 15 consecutive victories have drained their physical strength and energy, and now is a good time for us to beat them, it was Manchester United who ended our 49-game unbeaten record in the league a few years ago, and it should be Arsenal who ended Manchester United's 16-game unbeaten record this time, which is providential in the dark。 ”

The coach spoke, and of course the captain had to follow, and Arsenal's captain Cesc Fabregas was an indispensable presence for Arsenal. Last season, he was Arsenal's tactical core, top scorer and assist leader, and this season he is still a key figure in how far Arsenal can go, and in the face of such an important battle, Cesc Fabregas has also publicly declared war on Manchester United.

"Manchester United is a great team, but they are not invincible, since West Ham United can beat Manchester United by a big score, then of course we can do it, I think over the years, Arsenal has been no worse than Manchester United and Chelsea, the reason why we failed to win the title, in addition to luck, is more because the Premier League referees are too loose to enforce the law, encourage the team to play rough, if you use the Champions League or La Liga law enforcement scale, Arsenal will have at least three more league titles. I think the key to victory or defeat in this game against Manchester United is not me, Arshavin or Gao Xiaodong and Rooney, but the referee, if the referee can deal with the fouls on the pitch fairly, the victory should be ours. ”

Arsenal ace striker, new Bergkamp van Persie also said that Manchester United is just a paper tiger, they are not invincible, the 11-point gap looks huge, if we can beat Manchester United at Old Trafford and narrow the gap to 8 points, then Chelsea and Tottenham will see hope, and at that time, the suspense of the title race will return.
