Mikel Arteta storms out of interview after Arsenal’s draw with Man United

Mikel Arteta stormed out of his post-match interview following Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday night.

A late equaliser from Declan Rice salvaged a point for the visitors after Bruno Fernandes had given the hosts the lead with a stunning free-kick just before half-time.

Arsenal also had goalkeeper David Raya to thank for several crucial saves in the second half, preventing the result from being worse.

However, the Gunners now find themselves 15 points adrift of Premier League leaders Liverpool with just 10 games remaining.

When asked about this, Arteta was not willing to engage in a discussion. His visibly agitated response has sparked considerable debate.

Mikel Arteta Loses His Cool

Speaking to Sky Sports after the final whistle, Arteta appeared to lose his composure when asked whether he regretted not signing a striker.

Despite controlling large portions of possession, Arsenal struggled to pose a consistent attacking threat.

The Gunners were linked with strikers like Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak during the January transfer window, but Arteta quickly shot down the suggestion.

He insisted the result had nothing to do with any lack of signings and that the issue wasn’t related to their attacking options.

The former Everton midfielder then attempted to walk out of the interview, but was stopped by the reporter, who pressed for a response on what the draw meant for Arsenal’s title hopes.

Arteta, however, declined to answer and rushed back to the dressing room.
