3) Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
No longer at his best, but Wayne Rooney is another player who has done very well against Arsenal down the years, both for Everton and Manchester United. Some snobbish Arsenal fans will scoff about his ability, but there’s no question that at his peak the England captain was one of the best players in Europe, and would have fit in superbly alongside some of Arsene Wenger’s best players, adding a bit of bite and passion to boost.
