Arsenal Edges Out Manchester United 1-0 in Premier League Opener ⚽

Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha shone but Altay Bayindir struggled as Manchester United lost 1-0 to Arsenal on the opening weekend of the Premier League. Cunha and Mbeumo were both named in the starting line up, with Benjamin Sesko on the bench while Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund both missed out altogether.

United started as the better side but fell behind when Bayindir was bullied from a corner and Riccardo Calafiori headed the ball over the line from close range. Ruben Amorim’s side responded well to the setback and went close when Patrick Dorgu fired an effort against the post and Cunha drew a fine stop from David Raya.

Mbuemo fired a spectacular overhead effort just wide of the post and then saw a header saved by Raya as United searched for a deserved equaliser. It wasn’t to come as an improved United side fell short in both boxes.
