Arsenal F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry
The rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United is a notable one in English football as both clubs are recognised for having great history and traditions. Although their first competitive match was in October 1894, the rivalry was instigated in 1990 because of a brawl between both teams. In the years that followed Arsenal and Manchester United were fierce domestic rivals, and there was great animosity, but underlying respect between the two clubs. The rivalry at its peak was centered on managers Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson, and their former club captains Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane.
