As part of the first day of the Premier League for the 2025-2026 financial year, Arsenal faced Manchester United in Old Trafford this Sunday at 5.30 p.m. The meeting marked the great premiere of Viktor Gyökeres with the Gunners in PL, an expected moment with interest, especially since the Swedish, recruited for 65 million euros, had also been courted by the Red Devils during the transfer window. Despite the excitement around his arrival, the performance of Gyökeres has not escaped criticism on social networks, some observers believing that the attacker had been below expectations for his big beginnings against Manchester United.
For his part, Mikel Arteta came to the aid of his player at the post-match press conference: “Gyökeres has done a lot of very good things, I am happy. We feel at our high pressing and at the rate that we impose that there are points to improve. Coming to Manchester United and winning a victory in his first game is a very good start. »» Arsenal finally won the score of 0-1 thanks to a goal of Calafiori in the first period.
