Keane quipped that Arsenal were being made to sound like an elite team, which did not tally with their form. The Irishman quizzed Cahill: “How many games have Arsenal lost this season? They just won against a poor United team. All of a sudden Arsenal are the new Bayern Munich. Do me a favour.”
Cahill has been proven correct over Arsenal and Arteta. Despite a victory by the same narrow 1-0 scoreline on Sunday, Arsenal have proved the gulf in quality between themselves and United in the four years since Keane and Cahill debated their progress.
The Gunners have twice competed for the Premier League title, and a Manchester City defeat before the end of the season will likely hand Arteta’s side the trophy. United, meanwhile, are enduring a disastrous campaign and sit eighth in the top-flight.
