Manchester United won nicely once morest Arsenal today in New York, following a pleasant first half and a slightly duller second half. The story of the game…
Stepping onto the pitch at a jam-packed MetLife Stadium, the Red Devils seem to be fully aware of the excitement of such an exhibition game in the United States and the importance that a possible victory today once morest Arsenal might bring to their good momentum in this pre-season.
Arsenal-United : La composition mancunienne
From the start of the match, the duels are rough between the two teams and the combinations worked, as in the Premier League.
In the 5th minute of play, Shaw swings the ball far ahead and Fernandes, well launched in depth, inherits it. After having fixed the London defense well in the zone of truth, the captain of Manchester United sets back for Antony whose shot proves to be a little too crushed to worry Ramsdale. Damage !
In the 11th, Arsenal got their first chance of the game. Saka sneaks into the area and passes the ball to Martinelli, well placed at the penalty spot. Fortunately, Heaton won twice once morest two direct attempts from the Brazilian winger. Phew!
In the 28th minute, Heaton intervenes once more and manages to collect the ball on a dangerous shot from Saka.
Half an hour into the game, Bruno cut inside, at the entrance to the opposing area, and fired a powerful shot towards the opposite post. Ramsdale skims the leather but can’t help but find the back of the net. 0-1 pour United.
In the 37th minute, Arsenal made a defensive error. As a result, Sancho sows everyone and uses Garnacho’s good call on the opposite side to machine-gun Ramsdale from a tight angle. 0-2 pour United.
Three minutes later, Antony rolls the ball from quite a distance but, this time, Ramsdale manages to catch the ball.
Returning from the locker room, Erik ten Hag decides to replace his ten outfield players and give the captain’s armband to Casemiro, despite the presence of Maguire.
At the start of the second half, United obviously kept control of this match without being very shy in front.
Unfortunately, just before the hour mark, the Dutch tactician was forced to make another substitution, Amad being shot in the left ankle, bringing Facundo Pellistri into play.
Until the end of the match, United succeeded in containing the last offensives of Arsenal and thus granted victory.
Penalties once morest Arsenal no matter the score
At the final whistle, Manchester United is therefore officially declared the winner of this shock and thus records its third victory in as many preparation matches for the 2023/24 season.
Then followed an anecdotal penalty shoot-out but desired by the two coaches, during which the Reds also shone, since they did not miss anything and they firmly won 5-3. A double victory in a way!
