What a night that was
Bruno Fernandes has said he watched a video Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira having one of their famous confrontations ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Arsenal this Sunday.
Speaking to Sky Sports’ Laura Woods, the midfielder said: “Yesterday I saw a video of Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane in the tunnel.
“Maybe now different situations, different players.
“But the same love. Everyone wants to win, the fight will be there. We know we play against a big team but we also know the responsibility we have as players of Manchester United.”

The game Fernandes refers to is of course United’s 4-2 win over Arsenal ay Highbury in the 2004/05 season, with John O’Shea capped off an incredible evening of football with a deft chip over Manuel Almunia.
It’s unlikely we’ll see the sort of tunnel beef mentioned above, or Harry Maguire pulling off something so outrageous this afternoon. But United will go into the game in high spirits having just beaten RB Leipzig 5-0 in the Champions League, with Marcus Rashford MBE scoring a 20 minute hat-trick off the bench.
