Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta abruptly ended a post-match interview after being asked whether his team’s Premier League title hopes were fading. The awkward moment followed Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United, leaving them 15 points behind league leaders Liverpool.
During the interview with Sky Sports' Patrick Davison, Arteta initially attempted to walk away but was called back for one final question about Arsenal's title chances. Rather than answering, he simply responded with “Alright, thank you,” and left.
This reaction has fueled speculation about Arsenal’s fading championship dreams, as the team has struggled to keep pace with Liverpool. The Gunners recently suffered a setback with injuries to key attackers, including Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, and Bukayo Saka. Arteta’s reluctance to rely on Raheem Sterling in the forward role has also been questioned.
The tension surrounding Arsenal’s season is further heightened by their previous near-misses. They finished second in the past two seasons, falling short to Manchester City. Now, with Liverpool dominating, fans are questioning whether Arteta’s squad can mount a comeback or if another runner-up finish is inevitable.
Arteta’s decision to avoid discussing the title race suggests growing frustration within the camp, as Arsenal faces increasing scrutiny over their squad depth and transfer decisions. With the season nearing its climax, all eyes will be on how the Gunners respond to this critical moment.
