Stats for this game
Matchup Manchester United VS Arsenal
Neither venue guarantees control
The results show strong home performances and important away responses. United’s 8–2 win at Old Trafford in August 2011 is a dramatic example, while Arsenal answered with a 3–0 home victory in October 2015. United also won 3–2 at home in December 2021, but Arsenal took 3–1 at the Emirates in April 2022 and 2–0 there on 4 December 2024. The balance can shift without warning.
Response defines the rivalry
Arsenal’s 1–0 win at Old Trafford on 17 August 2025 was followed by United’s 3–2 victory at the Emirates on 25 January 2026. Draws such as 1–1 in March 2025 and 0–0 in January 2021 show that control can also produce a stalemate. League, cup and friendly meetings give the occasion varied stakes, but the profile remains a heavyweight rivalry rather than a fixed hierarchy. A future meeting will ask which side can manage the pressure better when the first advantage arrives.
