Legit.ng earlier reported that Arsenal legend Kanu Nwankwo has praised his former team over their draw with fierce rivals Manchester United on Saturday, January 30.

Both teams approached the cracker coming with contrasting results as Arsenal defeated Southampton 3-1 while United were stunned 2-1 at Old Trafford by relegation-threatened Sheffield United in their previous fixtures respectively.

It means United are still unable to beat any of their ‘Big Six’ rivals in the English topflight so far this campaign.
