Manchester United vs Arsenal: Official Matchday Thread - 4th September @ 4.30pm

really good game, enjoyed that. in eth i trust

ronaldo was very expressive with his arms bless him, macguire is not the answer, no matter the question

Out of the red on GD. Nature is healing

£#%&!ing terrific!

Arsenal played some nice stuff, but didn’t create anywhere near as much as they should and it was painfully naive at 1-1 and 2-1. United have a real cynicism and cuteness to them now. We’re working our arse off, we’re keeping the concentration and the game management was excellent.

The narrative will be Arsenal were the better team, but they needed a result. It was a test and they failed. That was always on the cards if we worked hard and played to our strengths.

Erik done an absolute number on that little gimp.

Impressive when you consider Arsenal are so much better than us. What a job Erik has done with this squad so far. Arteta comes out of this looking a bit daft.

Fair play to rashford he needs to build on this now. Hopefully his injury doesn’t take him out for too long

pretty tough fixture given the form arsenal have been in (and their recent record against us) but we've beaten them comfortably.

won't let myself get too giddy just yet, after the many false dawns we've had over the past ten years, but for now, i will enjoy that win.

Feels SOOOOO £#%&!ing good to be enjoying and excited about Utd again.

Was getting worried for a while.

Those first two games though, Utd should be top of the table.

Thought we would win today, dunno why

Two potential banana skins coming up - stay focused Reds!

That a great win that. Arsenal are a good side

0 GD

Varane mustard again.

Dalot worked his %@#$&!s and defensively got better and better as the game went, same with Malacia, that game will improve the pair of them significantly.

The Scottish Player was superb, the manager has got him doing the necessary and he’s becoming more and more effective. His dropping between the CB’s last 15 was brilliant. Tactical flexibility.

We're back to making arsenal look like complete sissy boys.

Oh lovely football! Beautiful move!

There are no points for artistic merit.

3-1 United

Arsenal had moments in the game when they were on top, but part of being a top team is not shitting the bed when you just need to defend for 10-15 mins. See the pressure off. Signs that things are turning is when the players aren’t shitting the bed .

Other than their goal they didn’t create much. Get martial fully fit , bringing on pace off the bench and we could go far

to be fair, they were better than us for most of the game. our balance was wrong, jesus bullied the cbs and saka made malacia look poor. can't argue with eriksen's contribution with the ball, but our midfield provided poor cover and we looked like mou had decided the formation at the end. playing on the break at home is shameful.

will take the points, but we need cassie to start.

Finally learned to shithouse properly.

Enjoyed that

Even Slab managed it

Great result, good performance. We need to keep building on this. Take confidence from it and keep going.

Yup.

Deserves a lot of credit for how he’s come back from some nightmare showings. He’s in a specific role but is playing it so well

Cass needs to get to grips asap or he’ll be on the bench for a while yet.

Well done. Let
It go lad he didn’t need a bag handler

felt like the past when they would be all pretty and have little product and then we would counter and score. happy stuff and it is amazing the tune ten hag is getting out of this squad.

I dont mind seeing Merson's bloated face all disappointed. ha ha
