Before the 2025/26 Premier League opening, Jurrien Timber admitted Arsenal absolutely could not predict how MU would play. However, Timber confirmed that the Gunners will play their own way to win all 3 points at Old Trafford.
In the 2025/26 season, Arsenal faced a fierce schedule in the Premier League. They will start with the trip to Old Trafford to meet MU on the evening of August 17. Later, Arsenal continued Leeds, as a guest of Liverpool, met Nottingham Forest, Man City and then marched to Newcastle's field.
Before the competition with MU, Arsenal defender Timber said: “It is true that the beginning is very difficult for Arsenal. The schedule is really harsh. The previous season is the same and I think this can go in two directions. If the beginning is good, everything will be great, that is challenging. When the schedule has just announced, I was” startled “. This week we just talked about MU, not thinking of Leeds or Liverpool.
At this time, MU has many good players, a talented coach. Last year, their stone on the field was very difficult, and this year would not be different. Moreover, they also have quality rookies so we really don't know what to face when being a guest at Old Trafford. That is what makes the Premier League special, the teams are getting stronger, each season is more difficult to guess. “
In addition, Timber also pointed out that Chelsea and many other clubs are making a significant progress, so Arsenal need to focus on ourselves: “The most important thing is that we have to believe in our abilities. Instead of comparing with rivals, the whole team must try to raise ourselves.”
After 3 consecutive seasons in the Premier League, Arsenal had a vibrant summer transfer with the appearance of quality rookies such as Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Martin Zubendi, Christian Norgaard, Cristhian Mosquera and Kepa Arrizabalaga. Thus, the pressure is on the teachers and coaches of Arteta. If it fails again, Arteta will have nothing left to defend.
