This weekend sees one of the most iconic Premier League clashes take place, when Manchester United take on Arsenal at Old Trafford.

The two clubs fought a bitter rivalry when legendary managers Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger where in charge of United and the Gunners, respectively, in the 1990s through into the new millennium.

Season after season, the teams went head-to-head into battle as the quest to rule English football produced some of the most memorable moments and greatest players of the modern game.

They would dominate the division from Wenger's arrival in 1996 until 2004 when Chelsea, and the bottomless pit of money provided by Russian owner Roman Abramovich, gatecrashed the party.

Arsenal, unable to compete financially with United or Chelsea due to the cost of building their new Emirates Stadium, would not win another title under Wenger while Ferguson maintained his stranglehold on the top-flight until retiring in 2013.

But the memorable moments between the clubs would keep coming – albeit with few happy ones for Wenger and Arsenal, who would leave the Gunners five years after his old rival at United.
