Since the retirement of former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, it seems the club have not shown the same spark and level of soccer that we saw last season.

Manchester United have always been very popular and are one of the most supported teams in the UK, Man Utd kids football kits were a very sought after product last season.

They are the current Premier League title holders and will not want to lose that status at the end of the 2013 - 2014 season. They have won the league 20 times in total.

The Reds 2012 - 2013 home and away shirts were a hit, it was all down the teams form throughout the season.

When United won the title the club released some personalised 'Champions 20' printing which you could heat press to make your Man Utd soccer jerseys extra special.

Over the past few years the same few teams always tend to end up at least in the top 4, this include Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United.

The year before United won the title, it was Manchester City who climbed the table to the top spot.

At the minute Manchester United are in 5th place, lower than they usually are at this stage, Chelsea are in fourth, shock of the season so far Southampton are in third, Liverpool second and Arsenal first.

United have won 6 of their games so far, drawn two and lost 3, a disappointment compared to previous seasons. However they have won their last three games after a bad start.

This year it seems to be Arsenal who have had the best start to the season, since bringing in Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid in the summer they have seemed unstoppable.

They brought in a quality player and Manchester United fans were angry that Moyes did not bring anyone to Old Trafford to wear the Man Utd soccer jerseys.

Arsenal signed Ozil in the summer of 2013 for £42.5 million and he has certainly shown his worth this season. He is known as the goal assist and he has helped players such as Giroud and Ramsay score goals each match.

Manchester United had a lot to do to keep up with the Gunners with them running on fine form. Requests for kid's football kits with 'Ozil 11' personalisation have rocketed since the summer.

After winning two matches in a row on the 26th October and 2nd November United knew they had to keep their good run coming, they had a tough challenge ahead of them with a fixture against table toppers Arsenal scheduled on Sunday 10th November.

When these rival teams are due a match there is always likely to be some kind of controversy or story that surfaces in order to try and distract the other team ahead of the game.

Last week's story was the Gunner's manager Arsene Wenger insisting that 'Robin Van Persie was still an Arsenal man'.

Wenger sold RVP to Manchester United in August 2012 for £24 million pounds but Wenger insisted that he was still a Gunner at heart.

David Moyes answered back to Wengers claims saying "Robin must have had strong views about joining Manchester United and I'm sure he'd say he's made the right choice''.

We all know actions speak louder than words as this was proven by a strong Manchester United side who beat Arsenal 1-0 at Old Trafford yesterday and who better to score the goal than RVP himself, he certainly showed that he was not afraid to celebrate his goal in the Man Utd soccer jerseys.

The 30 year old Dutchman scored from a set piece to silence all of the doubters and seemed to love grabbing one against his former club; you can see this from the way he celebrated with the fans in the official match pictures.

Manchester United knew that if they were to lose yesterday's match they would have left an 11 point gap between them and the top spot.

Wayne Rooney also gave another fantastic performance, which we have been seeing from him in the past few weeks when has put on his Man utd soccer jerseys, his outstanding performance was rewarded when he was given man of the match.

Winning the game against Arsenal has given United the chance to try and catch up with the Gunners and close in on the gap.

Do you think that Robin Van Persie will ever regret leaving Arsenal?

Will Arsenal pip United to the title this season?
