Arsenal beat Manchester United at the premier League 2025/26 premiere in the Old Trafford. The 1-0 win goal was scored by Riccardo Calafiori.
Despite the victory, the negative highlight for Arsenal is the performance of Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres. One of the most coveted reinforcements of the last transfer window, the player was unqualified, creating few chances until he was replaced in the 2nd time, by Kai Havertz.
On the United side, despite having presented an initiative and pressured the opponent, Ruben Amorim’s team was inefficient, despite the good performance of Matheus Cunha, one of the new hires.
In the next match, Arsenal faces Leeds on Saturday (23/08) for the second round of Premier League. United goes to London to face Fulham on Sunday (24/08).
Matheus Cunha played well, ran and tried a lot, but United lost in the debut, at home, to Arsenal … 👀🏴 #PremierLeague pic.twitter.com/jdHpdWJM1h
