Arsenal vs. Man Utd: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 245

Arsenal wins: 91

Draws: 51

Man Utd wins: 103

A historic fixture that has thrown up many a memorable moment - the 8-2 Theatre of Dreams destruction, Arsene Wenger in the Old Trafford stands, Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira's tunnel bust-up and Sylvain Wiltord's iconic goal in 2002 to name but a few - Arsenal and Manchester United have now faced one another in 245 competitive matches in all tournaments.

The two Premier League powerhouses were then known as Newton Heath and Woolwich Arsenal when they first collided in the Second Division in 1894 - an engrossing 3-3 draw - which represents one of 51 of stalemates between the two clubs.

The most recent of those draws was fought in March 2025, when a brilliant Bruno Fernandes free kick put Ruben Amorim's men ahead at Old Trafford before Declan Rice saved the day in a 1-1 stalemate.

Man United boast the bragging rights in terms of overall triumphs, though, overcoming Arsenal on 103 occasions and suffering defeat to their London counterparts 91 times, but the Gunners have had the Red Devils' number more often than not recently.

Indeed, five of Arsenal's last seven Premier League matches against Man United have seen the Gunners emerge victorious, most recently a 1-0 Old Trafford success in August 2025 thanks to Riccardo Calafiori's goal from a corner routine.

Mikel Arteta masterminded a double over Erik ten Hag in the 2023-24 campaign, firstly overseeing a 3-1 Emirates success thanks to a Rice and Gabriel Jesus late show before Arsenal rocked up to a rainy Old Trafford in May and came out on the right end of a 1-0 scoreline.

The Gunners also had an Eddie Nketiah double to thank for a 3-2 home win over Man United in January 2023, prior to which the Red Devils marched to a 3-1 Old Trafford triumph in September 2022.

However, the most recent meeting between the two titans ended in an astonishing 3-2 Man Utd success, thanks to two stunners from Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha at the Emirates.

No player enjoyed this battle of the behemoths more than Man United all-time top scorer Wayne Rooney, who scored 12 goals in meetings between Arsenal and the Red Devils, while David Herd -who played for both teams - netted 11 times.
