Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta 'feels part' of Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl challenge as he praises 'special' Sean McVay

Stan Kroenke just became America's largest private landowner. The Arsenal and Los Angeles Rams owner could yet boast supremacy on the world's sporting landscape.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal face Manchester United this Sunday having entered the weekend carrying a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

Hours later Sean McVay's Rams will meet the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL's NFC Championship Game for a place at Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California on February 8.

Arteta is vying to win his first Premier League title after three straight runners-up finishes, while McVay is seeking to lift the Lombardi Trophy for a second time after becoming the youngest head coach in history to win a Super Bowl at the age of 36 in February 2022.

The two have built a close friendship away from the field, Arteta admitting he feels 'part' of McVay and the Rams' Super Bowl charge.
