The rivalry between Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson is among the most iconic in the Premier League. As managers of Arsenal and Manchester United, respectively, they competed fiercely during the late 1990s and 2000s, when their teams dominated English football. From Wenger’s Arsenal Invincibles, featuring stars like Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, and Dennis Bergkamp, to Ferguson’s Manchester United, with icons like Roy Keane, and Wayne Rooney, this rivalry was more than just managers—it was about world-class players, unforgettable moments, and intense drama.

9:40 Arsneal fans will still try and tell you Viera didn’t get himself sent off 😂🤦♂️, the ‘invincible’ run should have already gone the week before against Portsmouth anyway, if not for the worse dive ever by Pires
As a 16 year old United Fan, this brings tears of joy to my eyes! ❤🥹! I want those days to be back again!
When rivalry is actually a REAL RIVALS. Not like the current snowflake hugging high-five drama rivals… 🤦🏻
Did you guys skip the last minute winner at The Emirates!? Shame!
Salute to these two legends. Not coaches but Managers ❤
These were the standards, the true proper rivalry things got ugly and intense in a matter of seconds. There is nothing like the Fergie and Wenger rivalry. Great video by the Premier League, you have truly upped your game this year. Keep up the good work.
What about klopp and guardiola
'sol campbell's foul on rooney".. give me a break! after all these years you still call that a 'foul'…the ref decided that game…how on earth wenger managed to win three league titles in that era is amazing.. the ref were in ferguson's pocket.. kudos to WENGER!
it;'s astonishing that Arsene broke arsenal's transfer record only when he signed arshavin by the time rivalry was over. It was only 16 mil pounds. Prime Arsene was a beast.
man utd was always GETTING supported by the referees in that era…LOOK AT ROONEY'S DIVE and the ref gave them a penalty.
Iconic rivalry where Wenger was against a good Manchester United side that was always favored by the officials.
They offered sheer passion and emotion to football and EPL what is missing today
I am so moved. As a United fan, I have infinite respect for Arsène Wenger and I consider him the best manager in the Premier League after Sir Alex.
Hehe nostalgia..blockbuster..childhood memories revived
Battle of old Trafford 😂😂 i was so young 😢
Class from Mourinho and Ferguson for that thing at the end of Wenger at Old Trafford
It wasn’t much of a rivalry Sir Alex whipped our asses the last decade 😂
Something very beautiful about Wenger getting a standing ovation at his last game at Old Trafford.
Thank you so much this is an amazing video to tribute 2 legendary managers with greatest rivalry in history of football.
Unfortunately, you will never see battles like this again because the FA poke their beak in every aspect of the game and don't allow people to be real anymore
Two big clubs with great rivalry. Can’t wait for the game. It will be a blockbuster for sure.
Classic!!!
Real managers and coach in the game of football
I am blessed to have witnessed every single moment of this perfect rivalry ❤
Thank you Arsene
