Arsenal icon and football analyst Thierry Henry has made a bold statement following Manchester United’s clash with Everton.
Despite his deep ties to Arsenal, Henry did not hold back in praising a Manchester United standout performer.
“I’m an Arsenal legend but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t appreciate good players. That particular Manchester United player excited me yesterday and I think he’s currently the best player in the league.”
⭐ The Player Who Stole the Show
According to Henry, the United star’s performance against Everton had everything:
-
Explosive pace and directness
-
Clinical finishing
-
Creativity under pressure
-
Confidence in big moments
The player was reportedly involved in multiple decisive actions — whether scoring, assisting, or creating constant danger in the final third.
Henry highlighted not just the statistics, but the feeling the player gives defenders.
“When he gets the ball, you feel something is about to happen,” Henry added during post-match analysis.
📊 Backed by Form
The numbers this season support Henry’s claim:
-
Consistent goal contributions
-
High chance-creation rate
-
Match-winning performances in key fixtures
More importantly, the player has delivered against both top-six opposition and lower-table sides — a mark of true consistency.
👀 Rival Praise Carries Weight
For a former Arsenal legend to publicly call a Manchester United player the best in the league is significant. Rivalries often shape narratives, but Henry’s admiration was clear and genuine.
He emphasized that appreciating quality should go beyond club loyalty.
