Arsenal drew 0-0 with Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium and afterwards, supporters took to Twitter to rave about the performance of Rob Holding.

The Gunners are improving with each passing week and a large part of that has been down to the centre-back.

Gareth Southgate watched last night’s game and he would have been impressed with Holding’s performance.

The 25-year-old has played in all but three of Arsenal’s three Premier League games this season.

He has really come of age and appears to have cut out the costly errors that so often riddled his game.

Perhaps more crucially he has been able to stay largely fit and that has proved a problem in the past.

Holding will hope to have caught the eye of Southgate as he prepares to name his next England squad.

The defender recently penned a new deal and right now he is proving to be an integral part of Mikel Arteta’s team.

Holding now earns in North London and has thoroughly deserved his new deal.

Following yesterday’s performance, supporters took to Twitter to rave about the enforcer.

Here is what they were saying about Holding’s latest display.

soo underrated

— BIG BEN (@merengue4)

At some point someone outside of must recognise for his performances this season. He is almost unbeatable in the air and just goes about his business without making a fuss. There aren't many if any defenders currently in the EPL that I would rather have.
