Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United: Who had the better campaign?

English football is a crazy championship that takes every fan through all the emotions and still manages to leave neutrals entertained right down to the last minute.

Man United have a way of surprising the world and shaming its rivals, but Chelsea and Arsenal fans will consider the 2023/24 season an anti-climatic one.

The FA Cup final between Manchester City and derby neighbors, Manchester United is very much a testament to how dramatic English football can be, as despite Pep Guardiola’s City side going over to Wembley as overall favorites to batter their Red neighbors, Erik ten Hag left with the last laugh.

With all the rumors and speculations roaring for his sack, the Dutchman does one against their Blue half to end Manchester United’s campaign with at least a positive. An 8th place finish with a spot in the Europa League next season after what many would consider as a disastrous season on every account for Man United, is a campaign its fans will take at full chest.

It ends with a cup final victory, and what to them in the 2022/23 campaign is a rued chance to finish that campaign with a domestic double. This time, Man United are the ones ruining Manchester City’s chance of a domestic double right after they completed a treble last season by winning the FA Cup in a 2-1 triumph. A reversal of fortune it is this time, as Erik ten Hag finally gets the last laugh to steal a second win against Pep Guardiola, this time a 2-1 win at Wembley.

Speaking of last laughs, Arsenal and Chelsea fan base will have to weigh on who had the better campaign throughout the 2023/24 campaign.

Erik ten Hag promised and delivered…

Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount celebrate at full-time.

One half of London famously went all through the season on top form and challenging for premier league title glory just to end the season without silverware and a 2nd-place finish in the league that sees them in the Champions League next season.

For Chelsea, despite all the fight to achieve a top 6-finish, their 6th place finish now accounts for nothing as Man United steals their spot for next season’s Europa League tournament, thus relegating the Blues to tier 3 division in Europe; the Europa Conference League.

Fans of both rival clubs will see the FA Cup final win for Manchester United as a climatic end to the season, while the Red Devils fan base will consider it a miraculous season that did not end in total shame.
