Arteta refuse to concede in the Premier League title race
Bruno Fernandes converted the opener in first-half stoppage time, only for Declan Rice to equalize in the 74th minute.
However, neither side managed to gain the upper hand at Old Trafford.
This result leaves Arsenal 15 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
The Gunners now face a daunting task in their bid to secure their first league title since 2004.
However, Arteta refuses to give up on his side’s title aspirations.
“I don’t want to say that,”
“Today the frustration is that we haven’t won the game. We know the urgency and we are obligated to win every single match if you want to have any chance of doing that. I don’t think it is the right moment to talk about that.”
Frustration took a toll on Arteta
Arteta’s frustrations were evident as he cut short his post-match media obligations with Sky Sports following a question about the title race.
After addressing several questions, he was asked whether he regretted Arsenal not signing a striker during the January transfer window.
Arteta responded, “No, it’s not about that,” before beginning to walk away.
The interviewer requested one final question, which Arteta allowed.
However, when he was asked about the 15-point gap to Liverpool, he walked out of shot.
