The match between Arsenal and Manchester United was a friendly but there was no shortage of excitement. Arsenal performed well against Manchester United but Manchester United did not perform well against Arsenal. Since it was a friendly match, the performance of this match might not be that important but Manchester United's performance against Arsenal can at least give an idea of how Manchester United's performance is going to be in the next season. Since there has not been much change in the team, it is natural that there will not be much change in performance.

Manchester United are relying on their current manager, maybe this manager will disappoint them next season as well and they will not be in a very good position in the Premier League points table at the end of a full season.

The function of the pre-season is to try out strategies that are suitable for this season's league, but many fans take this match seriously. A friendly match to test the depth of the squad, and indeed even though it was a friendly match, both teams played very well, perhaps because of prestige.

But in general, Man United's game in the first half was quite good, and in the second half, the defenders often piled up in the penalty box but the wing area was often missed. It can be said that this is a mistake that is often repeated, I hope Erik Ten Hag must fix it immediately, the support of the ball to the striker is often stuck, this also needs to be fixed, and the winger/midfielder has difficulty making a difference when a goal is needed. Man United's game has actually improved from last season, it's just that what still confuses me is that in the pre-season, other goalkeepers didn't have a chance, Onana is still irreplaceable, Erik Ten Hag should have given other goalkeepers a chance too.

But anyway, even though they lost, I am still optimistic that Man United will be better this season. The players have started to understand the direction of the game even though their passes are still not good. It just needs to be polished by seeing how many players are already strong at Man United.

Common mistakes Manchester United's defenders make are the same mistakes they make in key matches. Not only in this warm-up match against Arsenal but also in previous seasons we have noticed such common mistakes by defenders. Defenders play a huge role in football whether strikers score or not. If the defenders protect their defense dutifully, but the opposition strikers cannot score, this makes the match a draw even if there is no possibility of winning the match.

There is no room to complain about Manchester United's midfield as they have focused enough on their midfield and made the midfield strong enough but their problem lies in their defensive positions. Since the problem is obvious, they should try to solve this problem. If they strengthen their defense as soon as possible, they will get a lot better results next season.

Since the manager hasn't changed, we look forward to seeing what new tactics come from this manager next season to see if he can guide his team to success.
