United gave Andre Santos a hard time during last Saturdays match, finding the home team pressure too much for him.
The Arsenal left-back just couldn't seem to do anything right and Arsène Wenger, not liking what he was seeing, began to glow as his temperature rose.
What made matters worse, finally bringing Wenger to boiling point, was the sight of Santos swapping shirts at half-time with Robin van Persie.

'The Gunners' manager let his player know, in no uncertain terms, that he was unhappy with the defenders first-half effort and that he found the shirt swapping totally unacceptable.
Wenger, keen to downplay the incident, was quoted as saying :~

“I spoke [to him] about that but I don’t want to make too much of a big story of that,” - he went on to say ....

“I believe that was not the right thing to do at all, but that is not an explanation for our bad performance on Saturday."

United won the game 2 - 1, with van Persie opening the scoring against his former club in the 3rd minute.

There are now doubts if Santos will keep his place for Arsenal's Champions League away match with Schalke on Tuesday.

Any day soon, two of Manchester United's youngsters will be set to hit the road down to the Midlands in a temporary deal.
Centre-back Michael Keane and forward Jesse Lingard will be on their way to Leicester where they'll join fellow Academy prospects Ritchie De Leat & Matty James.
This will be a good move for Keane and Lingard. By playing at the 'King Power Stadium' they will hopefully gain the experience necessary to continue learning their trade.

Meanwhile winger Robbie Brady, also from the United Academy, heads back up to the North East. There, at Hull, he'll renew his acquaintance with another United loanee, goalkeeper Ben Amos.
Brady will be heading into his second loan period over on the chilly East Coast. There Steve Bruce, Old Trafford hero & United's captain from back in the day, will be keeping an eye on him.

By the By :
Steve Bruce was widely regarded, within football, as one of the best English players of the 1980s and 90s never to play for his country at full international level.

After his great performance on September, Rafael gets the goal of the month award for his wonderful goal that scored against Liverpool.

Referee Howard Webb reported to the Football Association that the elbow accident between Persie and Yohan (Newcastle player) didn't involve any violence from RVP side.



Newcastle were very mad on the referee report as their manager requested suspension for Persie.

I am happy that RVP cleared on this situation and will still playing with Man Utd on the Premier League.

Go Man Utd. Go Persie.
