Arsenal vs Manchester United - LIVE!

Manchester United continued their perfect start to pre-season as they earned a 2-0 win over Arsenal at MetLife Stadium.

Both sides named strong lineups for the high-profile clash that came three weeks before the start of the Premier League season, with Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber all handed first Arsenal starts. Andre Onana did not make the United squad. Antony scuffed an effort wide early on before Gabriel Martinelli twice fired straight at Tom Heaton in quick succession, as the Gunners began to get on top in the match. Two errors though proved costly, as United took complete control.

Bruno Fernandes, United’s captain after replacing Harry Maguire in the role, opened the scoring on the half hour mark as he let fly from distance and Aaron Ramsdale was unable to produce what should have been a comfortable save, letting the ball through him. And a few minutes later that lead was doubled, Gabriel swinging at thin air just inside his own half and Jadon Sancho, playing through middle, was on hand to pounce, run through on goal and produce a superb finish.
