Arteta has broken several records over the years as the Gunners boss, but he is yet to get his hands on the Premier League<\/a> or the Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n Just for that reason, some people don\u2019t give him the credit he deserves \u2013 Andy Goldstein is one of them.<\/p>\n Darren Bent laughs after what Andy Goldstein said about Mikel Arteta and Ruben Amorim<\/p>\n Darren Bent<\/a> used to play for Tottenham Hotspur, but it is no secret that he is an Arsenal fan.<\/p>\n The former England striker always tries to defend the Gunners, especially when Goldstein tries to annoy him with his comments about his club.<\/p>\n On Friday, the two men on talkSPORT had a debate over Mikel Arteta<\/a> and Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim<\/a>. <\/p>\n Bent asked Goldstein, who is a United fan, if he would swap the two managers if he had the opportunity. The latter\u2019s response made Bent burst out laughing. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s how their conversation went\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cGo on. Would you swap right now? Arteta for Amorim?\u201d Bent asked Goldstein<\/p>\n \u201cNo. No, not in a million years,\u201d Goldstein replied.<\/p>\n \u201c(Bursts out laughing) Why not?\u201d Bent asked.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause I don\u2019t think your manager is a winner,\u201d Goldstein said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd yours is what? Well, I don\u2019t think yours is a manager.\u201d Bent said.<\/p>\n Who\u2019s better \u2013 Mikel Arteta or Ruben Amorim?<\/p>\n Arteta and Amorim are on different levels.<\/p>\n The Manchester United boss led his side to a 15th-place finish in the Premier League last season and ended up losing to Tottenham in the Europa League final. <\/p>\n Even at his worst phase, Arteta was never as bad as Amorim, and he didn\u2019t have the luxury of spending a fortune in his first few transfer windows either.<\/p>\n The problem with Goldstein and many Manchester United fans is that they think their club is the same as it was 15 years ago. The sooner they realise that they are not the same, the quicker they will recover.<\/p>\n Amorim is a good manager and could achieve success at Old Trafford if he is given time. But to imply that Arteta isn\u2019t better than him is laughable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mikel Arteta has constantly divided opinion since he became the Arsenal manager.
