Arsenal fans furious after ‘insulting’ Mikel Arteta’s claim

Arsenal fans furious after ‘insulting’ Mikel Arteta’s claim

Arsenal fans were left unimpressed after Sky Sports’ Saturday Social drew comparisons between Mikel Arteta and former manager Unai Emery.

One of the experts claimed that Emery, 52, is “closer to Pep Guardiola than Arteta” and that he is “insulted to compare the two”.

Arteta, 42, currently has his side sitting in third place, just one point behind Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table and below Man City on goal difference.

Emery has carried last season’s momentum into the current campaign, with Aston Villa once again in the conversation for Champions League qualification, sitting fifth, level on points with Chelsea.

The two clashed for their second Premier League goal of the season, with Arteta getting the better of his compatriot thanks to goals from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey.

Arsenal fans leap to Mikel Arteta’s defence

The current Arsenal boss has only been in charge since 2019, winning an FA Cup in his first season in charge at the Emirates.

Emery’s trophy cabinet is slightly more impressive, with a total of nine major trophies won during his time with PSG, Sevilla and Villarreal.

Still, Arsenal fans took offense at the comparison and took to X, officially known as Twitter, to vent their annoyance.
