However, Cole highlighted that the tables have turned, with Arsenal now emerging as Premier League title contenders while Manchester United struggle to secure a top-five finish.

Presently, Manchester United occupies the 8th position on the league table with 54 points in 35 games, trailing 4th-placed Aston Villa by 13 points.

In contrast, Arsenal is in contention with Manchester City for the league title, currently occupying the second spot on the table with 83 points in 36 games, just two points below the league leaders.

Ahead of the clash between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford, Cole expressed a sense of disillusionment, stating that the Red Devils are now distant from competing for major honors.

Cole reminisced about how Arsenal used to celebrate finishing fourth as if they had won the league, a scenario that once prompted laughter from United players. However, he acknowledged that United now find themselves in a similar position.

He emphasized the difficulty of this realization, admitting that he never envisioned Manchester United in such a position. Cole stressed the importance of understanding what United stands for – winning, competing, and striving for major honors, particularly in domestic competitions – sentiments that are now seemingly distant for the club.
