Jamie Carragher's baffling Premier League claim proven wrong by Arsenal and Man United's elite

Jamie Carragher’s claim that Liverpool and Manchester City’s rivalry is the best we have ever had in English football is certainly wrong. Arsenal’s rivalry with Manchester United had more substance, competitiveness and dislike between the teams, which made it so much more enticing.

The battles between Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson were a sight to see and had so much impact that Arsenal and Man United are still considered major rivals despite neither side competing for a league title in over a decade. It’s a rivalry that will be forever lasting due to the competition between both sides in the late 90s and early ’00s.

Liverpool and Manchester City cannot replicate such a rivalry like the battles between Arsenal and Manchester United. Not only do the managers have a major reason why the two rivalries do not compare, but the personnel on the pitch also has a major say.
