Scholes concedes Man Utd, Arsenal now also-rans

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes admits both his old club and Arsenal have fallen back.

United meet Arsenal tomorrow.

Scholes wrote in the London Evening Standard: "There was a time in my career when an away game at Arsenal was arguably the biggest match of the season. Not in the latter years.

"The last time Arsenal beat Manchester United was May 2011 and, over the course of the last 10 years, Arsene Wenger's team have fallen away as title challengers. Now Arsenal are sixth, United are seventh and both are struggling to challenge at the very top of the table."
