Mikel Arteta left his post-match interview abruptly after Arsenal's 1-1 draw against Manchester United on Sunday evening. After Bruno Fernandes put United ahead with a brilliant free-kick just before half-time, Declan Rice equalized for the Gunners in the final fifteen minutes to secure a hard-fought point.

Thanks to some outstanding saves from David Raya in the second half, the Gunners managed to avoid a more damaging result. However, they now find themselves a staggering 15 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool with only ten games left in the season. When asked about this gap, Arteta was visibly agitated and refused to engage in the discussion, prompting a flurry of reactions.

Arteta Dismisses Questions on Title Race

Frustrated by questions about his decision not to sign a striker during the January transfer window, Arteta's patience seemed to wear thin. Despite Arsenal maintaining possession for significant stretches of the match, they struggled to threaten the United goal consistently. The manager had been linked with potential signings like Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak, but he rejected the notion that the result stemmed from his transfer strategy.

Key Statistic: During his tenure as Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has only secured two victories at Old Trafford against Manchester United.

As he attempted to exit the interview, a reporter quickly redirected the conversation to the implications of the draw for the title race. Arteta, however, declined to respond before making his way back to the dressing room.
