Gary Neville noticed which Arsenal player Matteo Guendouzi shouted at during Man United clash

Matteo Guendouzi continued his excellent start to the season with an all-action display against Manchester United.

The Arsenal midfielder has already established himself as a key player for Unai Emery, starting every single game in the Premier League this campaign.

And the Frenchman played a key role in Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, with a tireless performance.

Towards the end of the game, Gary Neville heaped further praise on the French midfielder, claiming: “Guendouzi & McTominay, if I was picking a man of the match, it would be between them two.”

But it was early in the second half when Guendouzi showed maturity beyond his years and the sort of responsibility which has impressed fans.

With only 10 minutes played after half-time, Arsenal were caught on a counter attack with the Gunners' high backline caught out with a ball behind.

Eventually, Guendouzi managed to get back to put the ball out for a corner, but the 20-year-old was quick to let his teammates know about their poor positioning - or according to Gary Neville, specifically Sead Kolasinac, who was out of position.

Speaking on co-commentary to Martin Tyler, Neville said: "Yeah, it was Sead Kolasinac."

After the game, Unai Emery admitted he wanted more from the game, but accepts a draw was a fair result.

"We wanted to win, we thought it was a good opportunity to win three points. It was a fair result for both," he said.

“That result can be a good point if we win on Sunday.

“Some players gave one step more ahead; Bukayo. We were better, more competitive. Offensively in some moments maybe we could do better to create more chances.

“We had some moments in the match after 1-1, the chances we had with Bukayo for the second goal, it’s our moment. They were pushing, they had chances to score. But at the end we finished in their box with Reiss Nelson.”
