This is Manchester United the Lost Tapes.

Stories from United's rich history told in a way you've never heard before.

Written by Wayne Barton and produced by Ed Barker.

English football has always had its rivalries.

Where there's a champion, there's a challenger.

With over a century of history,

it had rarely been the case that two of the most successful teams were competing at the same time, and that was the case towards the end of the 20th century. Manchester United and Arsenal

competed against each other for a generation.

But it was under Alex Ferguson and Arsend Venger when competition became an interchangeable word for tribal warfare.

Years of mounting tension finally erupted just after the turn of the century, when a series of

matches at Old Trafford became progressively more hostile. It all culminated in a showdown at Highbury

in February 2005. The conclusion was epic, but so was the journey.

This is the unheard story of the greatest rivalry in Premier League history.

That was the opening to episode two of Manchester United, the lost tapes this time, as you can tell, on the rivalry between United and Arsenal in the 90s and early 2000s.

I thoroughly enjoyed putting this episode together.

It's got some great interviews from Neville, Keene, Irwin, Ferguson,

and a lot, a lot of bitching and moaning from Patrick Vieira and Arsendanger. I hope you enjoy it.
