MU ended 0-1 against Arsenal in the Premier League match 2024/25. Here are a few notable highlights in this fascinating battle.
Gyokeres's bad day
Before MU, rookie striker Viktor Gyokeres was arranged by coach Mikel Arteta. The Swedish star took the attack, and he was expected to score his debut in the first match in the Premier League.
However, what Gyokeres showed brings full disappointment. In 60 minutes present on the pitch, the former Sporting star was completely missing. He only had 21 times touching the ball, not launching a shot or a pass to create opportunities.
Gyokeres's most noticeable situation is actually a ball … amusing. It was a situation where the 27 -year -old striker had the shadow on the left wing and then started cutting on the middle – a very familiar image like what Gyokeres still showed in Sporting.
However, in front of the MU defense, Gyokeres handled extremely clumsy, causing the opportunity to pass. The Arsenal blockbuster contract then “cure embarrassment” with the foul, helping the Red Devils to enjoy the free kick. Overall, Arsenal kicked people with Gyokeres on the field.
MU's spirit
Ever since Arsenal conceded, MU has played determined and longed. That was shown in every step of the boys of red shirts, with speed and accurate balls. Unfortunately, MU lacks sharpness in the final finishes to transform into a table.
To be fair, this is a big plus of MU under Amorim this season. With the usual sensory, we may notice how the Red Devils want to win. The home team pressed the field continuously, often causing Arsenal defense to wobble but only regret the goal did not come.
If he continues to maintain a strong fighting spirit like this, MU has the right to dream of great things in the 2025/26 season.
The soul is named CuHa
Not Bruno Fernandes, all the balls of MU now have to go through Matheus Cuha's foot. The Brazilian striker who has the ball is always creating permanent danger thanks to the surfing, the speed but equally technical. Obviously, Cunha brought a whole new breeze to MU's attack.
In addition to the Cuha, another rookie of MU, Bryan Mbeumo, also made a bold mark. The player with the number 19 shirt is relentless, and almost pocketed a goal from a dangerous header if goalkeeper David Raya on Arsenal side did not reflect the loser.
Sesko's debut
In the 65th minute, Benjamin Sesko was launched by Amorim coach to replace Mason Mount. The Slovenia player kicked and had a shot to deviate from Arsenal.
Overall, with a small acquaintance time, it is not possible to ask too much from Sesko. If only compared to Gyokeres in this match, the former RB Leipzig striker clearly made a bold impression and brought much more optimism. The future is waiting for Sesko ahead.
Arsenal still have a lot of work to do
Except for the only goal of defender Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal is almost deadlocked in MU in situations of live ball. Following the Gunners competition, feeling that they have no homework but the fixed ball, namely corner free kicks. Arsenal plays discrete, lacking in cohesion and this is really a problem that Mikel Arteta coach will be solved thoroughly soon.
