Of all the first matches the season everyone must look forward to the two clubs that make football fans curious...
Yes, you're right, my friend. Both teams are actively seeking new players. This is evident in the fact that both Arsenal and Manchester United have brought in numerous players to their squads. So, it's no surprise that the match between these two teams is highly anticipated. But regarding predictions, I'm personally quite confident that with Arsenal's current squad, they are arguably above Manchester United in terms of performance.
... However, this is just a prediction, and the reality may not be as we imagine. So, we'll just have to wait and see what happens once the Premier League season begins...
I get where you’re coming from — Arsenal’s consistency and squad chemistry right now really do look stronger than United’s. Even last season, without the extra signings, they were more solid in both midfield control and defensive stability. This summer’s additions have only boosted that.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t write off United completely just yet. Pre-season form can be misleading, and sometimes a couple of new signings need more than a few matches to gel into the system. Ten Hag might still find the right formula, especially in high-profile games like this one.
Historically, Arsenal–United clashes can be unpredictable, no matter what the “paper” squads look like. I think Arsenal *should* have the upper hand, but calling it an “easy win” might be premature — we’ve seen too many “sure” matches turn into surprises in the Premier League.
