Guard Of Honour...for the CHAMP20NS...by Arsenal!!

Guard of honour: Arsenal's Champions League-chasing team applaud Manchester United onto the pitch

Strong team: Despite having the title secured, United haven't rested their best players

Well observed: Arsenal's players took the tradition seriously

Deserved: It was right that United's achievement was marked

Arsenal's players today gave Premier League champions Manchester United a guard of honour to mark their impressive title victory.

There had been speculation the two clubs' status as rivals, as well as former captain Robin van Persie's summer transfer to United, would encourage the home side to resist continuing the long-standing tradition.

But after manager Arsene Wenger had revealed a desire to do so, his side produced the painful guard of honour and applauded champions United onto the pitch for today's match. 

United have little beyond pride to play for for the rest of the season, although the uncertainty surrounding Wayne Rooney's future and the atmosphere around Van Persie's return may make those two believe otherwise. 

Arsenal, however, will be desperate to win and must do so to give themselves the greatest possible chance of reaching the top four and qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Fans at The Emirates were largely respectful of the guard of honour, though there were also some boos, most of which appeared to be aimed at former striker Van Persie.
