Arsenal's Title Hopes in Jeopardy After Disappointing Draw Against Manchester United
Arsenal's dwindling title hopes suffered another blow as they shared the points with Manchester United. Manager Mikel Arteta’s decision to play defender Kieran Tierney in an attacking position caused raised eyebrows. One attacking star left on the bench was not pleased with the tactical change.
Arsenal's hopes of winning the title were again badly dented as they dropped points in their meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford. Manchester United, however, is simply playing better on the road: The club has drawn three consecutive home games, the latest coming on Sunday, 1-1.
The Gunners, without key attacking players Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus to injury, had little threat at the United goal. Raheem Sterling trying to make an impression after a lukewarm loan2 past had a moment to shine. A prolific attacker under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, Sterling saw that form fade, and hopes that his reunion with Arteta at Arsenal would reignite his career. But Arteta's decision to bring on Sterling was also revealing about his own doubts about the player's potential impact.
