    Arsenal registered a commanding 2-0 victory over United on Wednesday in the Premier League, leaving the Red Devils grappling with another disappointing result.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    After falling behind, Ruben Amorim introduced Marcus Rashford from the bench to make an impact. However, the forward remained an anonymous figure, managing just 22 touches of the ball without registering a single shot or creating any significant chances.

  • WHAT KEANE SAID

    Keane, known for his unfiltered opinions, expressed his frustration during the match while being part of a YouTube watch-along for The Overlap alongside Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright.

    "I tell you what, Rashford has come on, his general play as a footballer is shocking. Watch his header there," he said.

    "You know what that is, rubbish! That is f***ing rubbish... kicks it out of play."

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Rashford’s performance came under further scrutiny when he conceded a corner that led to Arsenal’s second goal.

    "That can’t happen," said Neville. "It’s a looped corner. You do scratch your head, you’re there as a coach and spend hours going through these corners."
