Last season, Manchester United experienced a nightmare. After the end of the catastrophic mandate of Erik Ten Hag, the Mancunians decided to bet on Ruben Amorim last November. A choice that has not yet proved to be fruitful. Despite interesting game ideas, the Portuguese tactician could not avoid the slump in the league. And despite a course to the final of the Europa League, the residents of Old Trafford finished in a sad fifteenth place in the Premier League. A dramatic assessment that inevitably pushed Mancunian leaders to invest in mass this summer. Eager to strengthen his attack, United broken his piggy bank to attract Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Creal purchases that were going to be put in the big bath this Sunday afternoon. In an Old Trafford demanding towards his team, absent from all European competitions this season, Mbeumo and Cunha were lined up by Amorim during the shock against Arsenal.
The Portuguese coach was going to find Viktor Gyokeres. The flagship recruit of the summer of the Gunners was the holder at the forefront of the London attack. Thus, all the elements were present to attend a large football meeting. From the outset, Manchester United put a mad intensity in this meeting. Lightly taking over in front of the squad of Mikel Arteta, United obtained the first opportunities in the meeting. With a legged Mbeumo, the Red Devils therefore looked for the fault. However, the opening of the score came on the other side. Against the course of the game, Arsenal found the flaw on corner, as so often last year. An opening of the score offered by Altay Bayindir, holder of the day to United in the absence of André Onana. On this harmless corner kick, the Turkish porter, slightly embarrassed by Saliba, has been hoarse and left Riccardo Calafiori to finish at close range (0-1, 13th).

Despite this spell, Manchester United did not abdicate. Valuse, unlike last year, Luke Shaw's teammates pushed to quickly return to the meeting. And with a Cunha which is gaining momentum and a Mbeumo always as embarrassing for the London defense, the locals have obtained some dangerous situations (33rd, 38th). The best opportunity of this first act for United came from the vicious strike of Patrick Dorgu who crashed on the post of a very solid David Raya in the first period (30th). Upon returning from the locker room, the dynamics have not changed. With much more desire than the previous season, United continued to push to return to the display board.

Despite a lot of enthusiasm and under the fervor of Old Trafford, United has never managed to make the difference in the last gesture. Faced with the waves that swept through their goal, Mikel Arteta's men were able to count on a David Raya for the big days who disgusted the opposing attackers through numerous prompt interventions (57th, 74th). Even more dangerous with the entrance of Benjamin Sesko who seriously weighed on the London defense, Manchester United has pushed to the end to equalize. Unfortunately for attractive Red Devils this Sunday, this goal has never come. An encouraging defeat, however, as the Mancunians displayed a radiant face which necessarily indicates with their apathy of last season. For their part, the Gunners offer themselves a precious and unusual victory. Note the first steps delicate enough of Viktor Gyokeres in the Premier League.
