Arsenal earned a 1-0 win in their penultimate game of the season against Manchester United this afternoon, and Ian Wright was impressed by their mentality.
It was far from their best performance of the season or of 2024, but the Gunners got the job done against a well-organised Manchester United team.
The Red Devils had several injury absentees, but they still found enough motivation against Mikel Arteta’s men.
In the past, on days like this, Arsenal may have dropped points, but not on this occasion.
Despite lacking the cutting edge we have come to associate with them, the Gunners still found a way to win and make life as difficult as possible for United.
This win means Arsenal will head into the final game of the season still retaining a chance to be champions, and Wright has been impressed by their mentality all season.
He said, on Premier League Productions:
“I think their mentality has been very good this season. The biggest was Bayern Munich and then Villa, those two games. Since then they’ve been fantastic the way they’ve responded.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
This has been a good season for us because our players’ mentality has been much better than in previous campaigns.
I think Patey should be sold. He made a lot of mistakes today. We don’t need such next season please. Jesus and Nelson should stay and make up the squad.zinchenko should be sold. We always concede from his angle whenever he is playing.
not his best game, too many mistakes but generally this weak Man U side played through our middle far too easily, luckily they had no pace in transition and our defense was able to recover
Your very low at thinking my brother, partey is great plus he was on injury… jesus is the only one who is eligible to leave .. you only judge by one game bit you dont look at the past where jesus was selfish to himself …
Partey was ineffective and unaware of danger when on the ball today. I was surprised he was not subbed far sooner.
Likewise with SAKA who was awful and did hardly anything of consequence!
I don’t subscribe to Zinchenko being sold please. Let us use him in I a mid field position. He is arsenal’s most creative talent and can unlock any defence with his creative movements
If we sold players after every poor game, there would be no stability in any team.
I bet there are many, myself included, who have been thoroughly embarrassed by Havertz after repeatedly demanding that he be dropped or sold after his poor games early on.
