Paul Merson gives brutal verdict on Arsenal's title hopes after Man United draw as club icon reveals which side Gunners should be worried about

Paul Merson has provided a damning verdict on Arsenal's dwindling title hopes after dropping points for the third time running at struggling Manchester United.

The Gunners had to rely on Declan Rice to fire in a 74th-minute equaliser to salvage a point at Old Trafford, having fallen behind to an exquisite yet controversial free-kick from Bruno Fernandes.

The result means that runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool remain 15 points clear at the top of the table with nine games to go - and only need a maximum of 16 points from their nine remaining games to be crowned champions.
