The English media and some fans of the Premier League around the world have often complained about how peaceful and devoid of drama rivalries between the biggest clubs in the league have become. Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United was dominating the league all on their own until Arsenal hired a certain Frenchman to coach their team in 1996. In Arsene Wenger’s first full season at the North London club, he won the league. And not only did he win the league, he also won the FA Cup, completing the coveted domestic double at his first full trial. That was when United knew that they had new competition.
