Another memorable flash point was Martin Keowns taunting of Ruud van Nistelrooy after his missed penalty in 2003, which preserved the Gunners incredible unbeaten record.Giggs has claimed the dislike extended throughout the entire Arsenal squad.I didnt like Arsenal, he told the Daily Mail.“I didnt like Vieira cos he was dirty and got away with murder. I didnt like Petit because he had long hair. I didnt like Bergkamp.“I didnt like Pires even though when you meet him now hes actually dead nice.“I wouldnt even look at them, didnt know them and didnt want to. I wouldnt allow myself to rate any of them.”Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira confront each other3

The two clubs were in a number of memorable battles while Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger were in the dugouts.Giggs revealed just how they motivated themselves for these big games.He added: “Berkgamp? Nah, I told myself he wasnt as good as Eric Cantona. I wasnt really that kind of person. It wasnt really me. “But you had to get that in your head, that intense dislike. It was pure motivation.“But deep down we knew. They were top drawer and that rivalry was everything to us. Deeper even than Liverpool at that time.”Martin Keown taunts Ruud van Nistelrooy3

Keanes bust-up with Vieira in 2005 was reportedly caused by the latter threatening Gary Neville.United legend Paul Scholes claimed that Keane was merely sticking up for his team-mate.Scholes said on the Channel 5 documentary The Feud: Ferguson v Wenger: “Vieira said something to Gary Neville in the warm-up, which was crazy really.“A warm-up! Who’s thinking about saying something or talking to another player?“Roy felt that Patrick was trying to bully him. I dont think any of us could be bullied.”
