Next up for Arsenal is a United side at rock bottom, going into the game on the back of a 4-0 humiliation against Crystal Palace at the start of the week, but with nothing to lose. Defeat in Manchester would almost certainly spell and end to any title hopes. And Old Trafford isn't an easy place to go - as least historically. The Gunners will be confident of a result, just like they were 20 years ago. It ended 0-0 that day, but it was a game that has lived long in the memory of one player in particular that played in the game.

According to sources, Real Madrid is monitoring Bruno Fernandes ahead of the Manchester United midfielder's move.

Arsenal faces PSV on Thursday evening, knowing that victory would guarantee qualification from Group A. During the tournament, Arteta's side will progress to the last 16 and avoid a play-off against a Champions League drop-out.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy, a former Manchester United striker, will also return to Arsenal after some epic clashes with Arsene Wenger's side almost two decades ago.

Erik ten Haag, the former Trafford boss, wants to buy the PSV Eindhoven winger in a £38 million contract. After Wednesday night's Champions League play-off second leg against Rangers, the 23-year-old hopes to make a decision on his fate.

After Rangers struggled to clear a corner, the visitors were led in the 37th minute to fire home, with the ball dropping to Ibrahim Sangare. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's guys resurfaced three minutes later when Antonio Colak began a well-planned move. Both teams looked for the game's third goal after the break, and Rangers' goalkeeper Walter Benitez miraculously allowed Tom Larence's free-kick to squirm through his hands and into the goal. Rangers were unable to keep going as they were undone at a set-piece once more, with Armando Obispo heading home another corner.
