On Sunday, August 16, Manchester United hosts Arsenal at Old Trafford in a Premier League match. This encounter will serve as an important test for both teams, who aim to improve in the new season.
Recently appointed United manager, Ruben Amorim, emphasized the need to transform Old Trafford into a stronghold for his players. He noted that the team last season recorded nine home losses, the highest number since 1974. Amorim hopes that new signings, including forward Benjamin Sesko, will help change this situation.
Arsenal, in turn, is also eager to improve their results. Manager Mikel Arteta stressed that the team aims to win the Premier League after three seasons of finishing in second place. This summer, Arsenal signed several new players, including Victor Gyökeres and Noni Madueke, to enhance the team's competitiveness.
This match will mark the 244th encounter between the clubs, with United winning 99 times and Arsenal 89. The last two matches ended in draws with scores of 1-1. Amorim hopes the team can improve their game and secure a victory over one of the top rivals.
In the squad, Manchester United will be without defenders Lisandro Martinez and Nusaïr Mazraoui due to injuries. However, goalkeeper Andre Onana has returned from injury and is ready to play. Arsenal also has a few new faces, including Gyökeres, who will be making his debut.
