We say Arsenal to win 1-0 or draw 1-1

Arsenal are the favourites to win this game ahead of this encounter; however, Manchester United will not be an easy opponent. The Red Devils will want to start strongly and prove they mean business against one of the league candidates. 

Through three head-to-head matches last season (MU: W1, D1, L1), these two heavyweights were unable to separate themselves. The draw came at Old Trafford, where United have lost just two of the last 18 home Premier League meetings (W10, D6).

Prediction: Under 3 goals

For our second prediction, a total of three or fewer goals is what we anticipate. Recent games between Manchester United and Arsenal have been tense and low-scoring. And this season opener may not vary much, as both teams are desperate for a good start.

Match Preview: Manchester United vs Arsenal

Manchester United’s 2024/25 season was a disaster, as they finished 15th, their lowest in the Premier League era, and lost the Europa League final. Ruben Amorim, who took over in November, has overseen a nearly £200 million overhaul of the Red Devils’ forward line, recruiting Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Šeško this summer. The board fully supports him. A fast start could be crucial for Amorim’s future, but Opta says United has the toughest first five games.

Arsenal, seeking their second Premier League title after three years of second-place finishes, may be the toughest of those matches. Many experts have blamed their inability to advance on a lack of a natural striker, but Viktor Gyökeres’ summer arrival could change that. He’ll look to make Arsenal’s 100th top-flight season a success with a statement win here and their fourth straight opening weekend win.
