Manchester United drew 0-0 against London side Arsenal at Old Trafford, frustrating both teams with the pointless result. The outcome left Manchester City potentially 10 points ahead of third-placed Arsenal by Sunday's match against Everton, while Manchester United are just a single point behind.
The team from Manchester and the one from London were unlikely to be pleased with the draw, as neither side was able to capitalize on the win and lost further ground in their respective title pursuits. Manchester City continue to push for the top spot, thanks in part to having not been burdened by European commitments, whereas United are now a single point behind them.
Manchester United coach Marc Skinner refused to concede that his team's chances of the league have dwindled down but will keep pushing. Skinner acknowledged that Manchester City had some advantages due to their lack of European football but believed that United needed to be ready for any potential wobble in the Citizens' form.
Despite dominating possession, Manchester United were unable to convert their chances into goals, as they fell short despite being a player down for much of the second half. The result was particularly disappointing for Arsenal, who have not won a league title since 2019 and now find themselves struggling to stay within touching distance of City.
Arsenal coach Renée Slegers expressed her frustration at losing another crucial point but refused to give up hope. However, Slegers admitted that they were making it harder for themselves with this draw. "We make it harder for ourselves with this result. We wanted three points today, so that's two points lost," she stated.
Manchester United's Jayde Riviere was given a second bookable offense after a late challenge on Caitlin Foord and was subsequently sent off by referee Abigail Byrne. However, despite the red card, Manchester United were able to hold out for a goalless draw. This means that United are now just one point behind City in the table.
Despite having several opportunities, Arsenal ultimately failed to break down Manchester United's defense. A crucial save from Phallon Tullis-Joyce in stoppage time denied Victoria Pelova and effectively sealed the result for United.

and it's like they're running out of time, you know? 2019 was a long time ago and they need to start making some moves now. maybe skinner and his team are just better prepared for this type of match or whatever, idk 
I mean, you want to get those three points and move up in the table. Now City are like, a point ahead of them... it's not ideal 
Still, gotta give credit to Manchester United's defense - they played solid and held on for that crucial draw 
... i mean, you'd expect a draw to be exciting but it just felt like a pointless exercise 
. Manchester City's European commitments must be weighing on them because they're always so focused and dominant when it comes to the league title 
. coach renée slegers is right that they need to stop making it harder for themselves but they can't just give up hope 
... it's a tough league and anything can happen.
... phallon tullis-joyce made some huge saves to keep the scoreline at 0-0. i'm curious to see how City will react after this result 
i feel bad for arsenal, they've been so close to beating united but just can't seem to get over that finish line 
meanwhile, united has some hope now with one point behind city 
it's defo not the result either team wanted but at least we got an exciting match out of it 
! Both teams were so frustrated after that pointless draw, and it's like they're making it harder for themselves to catch up with City 
. I feel bad for Arsenal, 'cause they've been doing so well all season, but now they're struggling to stay close 
. And on the other hand, United just can't seem to capitalize on their chances... Marc Skinner should really think about his tactics and come up with something new 
& now they're struggling to keep up with city...
meanwhile, united are only 1 point behind 
but i reckon it was a fair call from referee abby 
It's like both teams played a game of chess... but forgot to bring their pawns 
! Manchester United and Arsenal, two top-tier teams, go toe-to-toe, neither able to score or concede – it's like they were having a 0-0 stalemate in a video game 
️. And let's be real, folks, who won? Nobody! 
. Seriously though, this draw might have been frustrating for both sides, but at least they can take solace in knowing their rivals aren't having a better day... right? 
. I don't think this draw has helped them one bit, just prolonging the agony for both teams 
.
we need more confidence from the gaffer. and omg that red card was crazy jayde riviere must be so mad 
phallon's save tho was insane 
that couldve been a winner for arsenal but nope 
its all about momentum now, can man u get back on track? 
. It's like they're both stuck in this endless loop of mediocrity.
