Arsenal Edge Man United in Old Trafford Opener

 

Arsenal kicked off their Premier League campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, dampening the hosts’ hopes of a statement start to the new season.

 

Mikel Arteta’s side showed grit and composure to secure all three points against their arch-rivals, with a resilient defensive display complementing their attacking sharpness.

 

Manchester United, who paraded their revamped forward line in front of a packed home crowd, struggled to find the cutting edge in the final third. Despite enjoying promising spells of possession, Erik ten Hag’s men were repeatedly frustrated by Arsenal’s disciplined backline and the assured goalkeeping that denied them clear opportunities.

 

The decisive moment came midway through the second half when Arsenal capitalised on a defensive lapse. The goal, though narrow in margin, proved enough to silence Old Trafford and underline the Gunners’ title credentials early in the campaign.

For United, the result raises questions about their cohesion up front despite heavy investment in new attacking recruits. Arsenal, meanwhile, will take confidence from grinding out a result at one of the league’s toughest grounds, setting the tone for their push for silverware.
