WAYNE ROONEY’S controversial Arsenal comments were “proven right” as Manchester United fans declared “they couldn’t even beat our 2026 team.”
The Red Devils were left celebrating on Sunday after leaving the Emirates with a 3-2 win.
Michael Carrick guided his men to a second straight victory against a top opponent, having already downed Arsenal’s title rivals Man City.
The gap at the top of the table has now been cut to just four points.
And the Gunners will once again be forced to defend a narrow lead after relinquishing top spot over the past several seasons.
United were sublime at times as they battled back from a goal down to secure the win in North London.

VAR YOU JOKING
Arsenal again rage at VAR after TWO controversial decisions in Man Utd game
Matheus Cunha bagged the decisive strike late on to leave Arsenal gutted.
But United’s performance brought to light comments made by former captain Rooney ahead of the game.
Wazza was asked by ex-Arsenal man whether he thought the United team of 2008, featuring stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, would stand a chance against today’s current Gunners side.
It saw Rooney court controversy as he declared that his old United pals “would batter them.”
But he had the last laugh as Arsenal couldn’t even do the business against a far inferior Red Devils team today.
United fans quickly threw their weight behind Rooney, declaring his comments to be justified as a result.
One said: “He’s been proven right.”
Another boomed: “Arsenal couldn’t even beat our 2026 team.”
One noted: “Our 2008 team would beat this lot 6-0.”
Another added: “In reality they’d win 1-0, all of them are over 40 years old now.”
